We are writing to you with care and concern, knowing that your home region is currently affected by conflict. We understand this may be a deeply worrying time for you and your loved ones.
Whether you are studying on campus or remotely, we wanted to let you know that you are not alone. You are a valued member of our University community and you have the right to feel safe here. We recognise the distress and uncertainty surrounding what lies ahead, and we are seeking to offer you support.
The University offers a range of wellbeing and emotional support and resources which are outlined on this Wellbeing Support Webpage. Our campus and the city of Bath has a strong record on safety, but if you are at all worried about your safety or the safety of others, please remember our Support and Report tool, the Safezone App and the availability of our Security Team on or off campus.
As an inclusive, international community, we offer support to all students, regardless of nationality or background. Our support services are available to you now and in the coming weeks and months ahead.
If the conflict is having an impact on your ability to engage with your studies, please reach out to your academic department who can advise and support you.
Our Student Support Service is available 9am - 5pm UK time, Monday-Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) or by calling +44 (0)1225 383838 or emailing studentsupport@bath.ac.uk.
• The Chaplaincy staff, who have established an interfaith group, are happy to talk with anyone online who has been affected, in confidence. Please email chaplaincy@bath.ac.uk.
• Our Be Well service provides professional free, confidential advice and support by phone from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Help is also available from The SU’s Advice and Support Centre.
If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours,
Professor Cassie Wilson
Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Student Experience and Sport)
