Sexual Wellbeing, Safety and Support: Welcome & Foundations

We're bringing Sexual Wellbeing, Safety and Support events directly to you throughout the academic year. These events are designed to help create a campus culture where students feel informed, empowered, and confident to make healthy choices, understand consent, challenge harmful behaviours, and access support where needed. 

Join us at drop-in events across campus and in your halls of residence. Our flagship week-long roadshows will take place in September, February and April, with additional drop-in events running throughout the year.

At our drop-in events you will find:

• Student Services staff to answer any general questions you may have about all things sexual health - you really can ask us anything. Nothing is taboo here! 
• Confidential 1:1 chats with an NHS Relationship and Sex Education trained member of staff or the opportunity to book a follow up appointment
• Interactive themed activities - from learning about consent and healthy relationships to reflecting on your own behaviour, to learning tips on how to be an active bystander and challenging harmful behaviour, you will be equipped with all the right tools to help keep our University community safe.  
• Freebies including condoms, dental dams, stickers, and more!
• Signposting to specialist services such as our Sexual Violence Liasion Officer (SVLO) team, Student Wellbeing, NHS Sexual Health, NHS Treetops Centre, and local specialist counselling teams
• Representation from local community services will be present at some of our events too!

All students are required to complete mandatory training on consent and sexual misconduct. Keep an eye on your student email for more information.

We take all reports of sexual misconduct seriously. If something has happened to you, please remember that it is not your fault. There is a wide range of support available, and you do not have to face it alone.
