Student Welfare Officers are members of staff whom students can call on if they have any questions or anxieties about university life. They can also provide an informal listening ear for anyone who would like to talk to a member of staff in confidence. Student Welfare Officers keep up to date with many services both inside and outside of the university and can often provide information or guidance on a wide range of problems and issues including access to counselling, financial difficulties and worries about home.
