There are a range of diverse groups/forums available for all staff across campus. Whether it be for a social aspect, information sharing, or support group. There will be a group for you.

The Student Disability & Wellbeing Service chair a Community of Practice for School-Based Staff Supporting Students. At least one member from each school who has the responsibility of supporting students come together to share best practice, discuss emerging trends and pressures, and identify any training needs for staff. 

Staff can access support for their wellbeing both within the University and externally. Through Staff Wellbeing staff have access to support, events and information on a wide range of health and wellbeing issues at the University. Looking after your health and wellbeing is key to feeling good and functioning well both inside and outside work. It's important to recognise when you need some help to stay well – and to know where you can access information, advice and support. The University is committed to creating a compassionate culture that prioritises the wellbeing of its people.
