Staff Hub

University staff are providing increasing support to students, offering help and advice for concerns outside of their studies. We do not expect you to be a counsellor or to know the answer to every question, but we want you to feel prepared, to be able to support students and be able to signpost the student to the appropriate support services.

The guidance we have provided will give you information on how to support students and which services you can refer students to so they can get the specialist advice and support they require at the right time.
