Race and Ethnicity

The Careers Service is committed to helping ethnic minority students to achieve their full potential and to challenge discrimination.

Suspect you've suffered discrimination?

If you feel you have been subject to discrimination when seeking employment or admission to a postgraduate course you may find it useful to discuss the situation with a Careers Adviser. You can book an appointment up to one week in advance by calling in to the Careers Service, or by phoning us on 0114 2220910.

In the first instance, bookings are normally made for a fifteen minute initial discussion, but if you feel that your circumstances make this inappropriate please mention this when you first make contact with us. Any information that you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Email Enquiry Service

If you find it difficult to visit the Careers Service, you can make use of our Email enquiry service. Just complete the form, explaining your query as fully as possible.

Sheffield Racial Equality Council

Make use of the SREC if you prefer to pursue the matter independently.
Tel: 0114 272 0012 or email: admin@sheffieldrec.org.uk
