The University has a network of support services to help students achieve
their potential and gain the maximum benefit from their experience here. Several
are delivered wholly or partly by students and some are available outside normal
office hours. Where a referral might be beneficial, staff are expected to keep
abreast of the range of facilities available and actively signpost or refer.
This session introduces you to the locations, staff, and information you need
to signpost students effectively to support services on the Colchester campus,
including the Health Centre and Counselling Service, Accommodation Office,
Nightline and Residents' Support Network, the Information Centre and SU Advice
Centre, Multi Faith Chaplaincy Centre, Student Support, and the Harassment
Advisory Network. It will help you to make effective referrals by providing
information on the role of staff and giving you tips on when and how to refer,
barriers to referral and support available.
Learning Outcomes:
- Familiarity with the services the
University provides to support students
- Knowledge of the specific locations and
opening hours of support services
- An understanding of what constitutes an
effective referral
- Confidence to make a referral to a
relevant support service
- An awareness of critical incident
procedures
- An awareness of the support available to
staff supporting students
- Be confident in making a referral to a
relevant support service
