Students who are a cause for concern
If you or colleagues have observed signs of significant deterioration in the physical or mental health of a student, or any other significant welfare issue it is important this is addressed.
Report your concerns
If you have serious concerns about a student you should discuss this with one of the staff within Student Support Services. it may also be helpful to discuss the concerns with a member of their College welfare team. The purpose of these discussions will be to decide what action, if any needs to be taken and by whom.
It is particularly important to take early action where the situation is affecting academic work and in respect of any student still under 18 years of age.
