Support for our community

Our University is a strong, international community with members drawn from over 100 different countries. In a turbulent world it’s important that our colleagues and students know that the University’s support services are there for them. If you need support or advice please speak to your manager, supervisor or personal tutor or access the services below.

Students  

Student Services (Email: studentservices@lboro.ac.uk, Tel: 01509 222765) offer a range of support, including mental health and wellbeing, and advice specifically for international students. Support for London students is also available by emailing London-Welfare@lboro.ac.uk or calling 020 3805 1303/1351. 

One-to-one support with an advisor is also available. If you would like to access this support, please complete the online referral form.

If you feel your studies are being affected, you can contact your Academic School or Personal Tutors so that we can provide the right support to you. If you wish, you can also submit an individual Mitigating Circumstances claim to explain how you have been impacted by recent events. More information on this can be found in the Student Handbook. 

Staff 

Colleagues can access support through our Employee Assistance Programme, as well as our Mental Health First Aiders.

Should you need some time away, we would like to draw attention to our compassionate leave arrangements, including our specific policy related to those experiencing trauma as a result of a protected characteristic (eg ethnicity, national origins, race or religion).

Our Staff Networks also exist to provide peer-to-peer connection and support.

The University Chaplaincy (Email: chaplaincy@lboro.ac.uk, Tel: 01509 223741) also offers a space for quiet reflection for both staff and students. University Chaplains are here to listen, to care and to help anyone within our community. No appointment is necessary.
