Staff Wellbeing: Where to go for help and support

If you need support in relation to your job, your first port of call might be your line manager. You might also want to refer to any of the following online resources for advice and links to support:

  • Report + Support is a tool for staff, students and even visitors to our campus and can be used to:
    - find information about and get access to University and specialist support services 
    - have an advisor talk you through options for support or further action
    - make the University aware of an experience you have had, anonymously if you choose
    *NOTE: We can act on anonymous reports only rarely. See FAQs for more information.

  • The Global Studies internal Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) web pages have information about challenging racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and oppression in all its forms. This also includes information on handling prejudice, bullying and harassment.

  • Human Resources have a wealth of advice on the Staff Wellbeing Hub, including advice on mental, physical and financial wellbeing, and also managers' responsibilities regarding supporting their staff.

  • Spectrum.Life (use code BeWell) runs the University's Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). Their helpline is available 24hrs 365 days of the year. As well as a confidential counselling helpline offering up to eight structured counselling sessions, they offer a medical helpline, legal support and help with day-to-day issues such as career coaching, consumer advice or relationship mediation.

  • The Organisational Development department has a web page for Mentoring which is a University scheme whereby mentees are matched with suitable mentors from across the University - usually from a different School or division and who is slightly ahead of the mentee in their career- to aid them in their professional development. You can engage with the scheme by requesting to be a mentor or a mentee.
