The Willem de Kooning Academie is deeply committed to the social safety and well-being of its students, recognizing it as a prerequisite for a successful study experience . A comprehensive support system is in place, starting with Study Career Coaches who guide students throughout their academic journey. Beyond academic guidance, the academy, in collaboration with Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, provides access to student welfare staff and counsellors for personal and psychological support. Specialized roles include a Vitality coach to promote physical and mental well-being and an Office for Inclusivity to ensure an inclusive environment for all. For matters of safety and integrity, students have access to confidential officers within WdKA and the wider university, including one specifically focused on inclusiveness. Furthermore, the academy has aligned with Mores.nl, an independent platform for complaints regarding safety and integrity in the arts, ensuring students have external recourse if needed
