\"\"<\/a>This one-page quick guide<\/b> shows what to do if you have a serious concern about a student. Although most students settle into university very well and have a trouble free time, colleagues all across the University can occasionally be faced with a student in a difficult, distressing or even dangerous situation. The routes identified in this guide can be used by any staff<\/u><\/b>: e.g. academic tutors, SDATs, student support colleagues, administrators, campus jobs, library staff, catering staff, security teams, cleaners and even UPP colleagues.<\/p>\n

If you are concerned about someone\u2019s welfare and think they need support, please encourage them to\u00a0use the Student Wellness Check<\/a>\u00a0or come in to see the\u00a0Welfare team<\/a>. You can call them on 0118 378 4777. If they are living in halls, you can also contact the relevant Hall Warden via the Halls Hotline:\u00a00800 029 1984\u00a0 The teams will always act upon concerns raised although sometimes we are unable to speak to you about concerns you have raised due to confidentiality.<\/p>\n

The online Notification of Concern form<\/a> can be used if you have concerns about a student, and would like the Student Welfare Team to be involved. This is not to be used in time-critical situations – as it says on the form, and in this guidance<\/a>, it is a reporting form not a request for immediate action or any means of alerting the University to an emergency situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
