Student well-being advice

There are times when we all need a little extra help and support and our student wellbeing is of paramount importance to us. As we continue to navigate through the current Covid-19 challenges we’d like to remind you that we are here to support you.

If you are in need of urgent medical assistance please contact 111, your GP or one of the helplines listed at the bottom of this page. If you have a Safeguarding concern, please refer to our Safeguarding page.

We've pulled together some blogs and supportive information to help you at times when you need it.
