Our heartfelt sympathies go out to everyone affected by the escalation in violence and loss of lives in Israel and Palestine over the weekend. We fully appreciate that anyone affected may be distressed by recent events.

There is always someone to speak to if you need support during this difficult time. Our staff can contact our Employee Assistance ProgrammeLink opens in a new window or seek support via the Staff Wellbeing HubLink opens in a new window.

If a student approaches you for support, they can contact Wellbeing and Student Support, the Chaplaincy (for those of any religion, or none) and the SU.

We know that this is an incredibly difficult time for many members of our community, and we ask everyone to respect and support each other at this time. We want to remind everyone that racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, abuse, incitement or harassment will never be tolerated and that any incidents of this should be reported through Report + Support.

We are united in our support for anyone in our community who is suffering as a result of the events currently unfolding in the region. We encourage you to reach out for support if you are struggling or have been affected in any way.
