Social Safety for Students


Summary

We show you the way to support and/or how to report an incident.

null

We want you – WUR students – to be assured of a positive and safe environment for your studies. Nevertheless, we are aware that unwanted behaviour or unsafe situations may occur within our community.

We show you the way to support and/or how to report an incident. Depending on the circumstances, you may want to discuss the situation with someone you trust first. You can also use the new Social Safety Contact Point to ask or report anything.

Do not hesitate to speak up, even - or especially - when in doubt. We are here to help you and anything you report will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Where to find support

Besides the support options on the infographic, you are welcome at the new Social Safety Contact Point.

Social Safety Contact Point

The Social Safety Contact Point is there for students and staff. For anyone who would like to know, ask or report something and/or does not (yet) know who to turn to for support.
