Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the events that have taken place in Palestine and Israel over the weekend. A number of our members will feel affected in different ways, and many will be distressed by the ongoing situation.  

The Students’ Union is here to help and support anyone affected, and encourage you to reach out for support if you are struggling in any way. Some of the support services available to you are listed below:

  • The Students' Union Advice Centre can be contacted through the enquiry form here. 
  • The University's Wellbeing Support Services, who can provide support on any number of individual circumstances, are available here
  • The Chaplaincy is available to those of all faiths, or none. 
  • Every student should have a personal tutor, and they will be able to advise any members who might want to access extensions or mitigating circumstances, or feel that their studies are being affected. 

We are committed to promoting open and respectful dialogue between our students. However, whilst we acknowledge the strength of feeling around this issue, we will not tolerate any discrimination, racialised attacks, or targeting of individuals or groups as a result of their position on this matter. This has no place in our community, and we expect our members to treat each other with dignity and respect.

Please remember, our Jewish members are not responsible for the Israeli government, and our Palestinian members are not responsible for the actions of Hamas. 

The University’s Report and Support platform is available for anyone who experiences something they feel they need to raise or report in confidence. 

WSU is committed to supporting all of our members to the best of our ability.
