WELLBEING AND WELFARE SUPPORT
WHAT CAN I COME TO YOU ABOUT?
The role of the welfare officer is to listen to you, your concerns and worries about your experiences with the university, issues you have regarding the club/ members within the club & to help get you the support you need by signposting you to the right places if you need support that I am not able to provide you. I am a friendly face that you can raise your questions, concerns and issues with. I will always aim to actively listen to you and provide you with the correct channels of support.
