Support + Welfare

​

We take the welfare of our students very seriously and endeavour to help and support you where possible.

Occasionally students may find themselves in a position where they want to make an academic appeal, file a complaint to the university or face disciplinary action from the university. Whilst this is very rare, we understand that navigating procedures can be complex and stressful and we are here to support any student going through these processes.

​

We understand that being a student brings with it a host of stresses and pressures. We will endeavor to assist you with any well-being support that you require, even if that is signposting you to another service.

​

We offer sexual health information and resources, including free condoms available to collect from the office. We also provide sanitary items free to anyone that needs them.

​

We have a wealth of information about organisations that we can signpost for you if the welfare support you need is something we cannot provide. Central also has its own services such as The Student Centre with a Counselling Referral Service. If the support you need is just someone to talk to, we are always happy to listen - we have tea & coffee and occasionally biscuits!
