Supporting the Supporters

Students may approach members of staff for advice and support on non-academic issues. With this in mind, the Student Services Department aims to provide training, advice and support to staff throughout the University through the "Supporting the Supporters" initiative.

Academic and support staff based in academic departments may be particularly interested in the sessions and publications. The resources may also be of interest to staff in professional service departments who have a student-facing role.
