Keep Safe

If you are concerned about another student, please complete the Cause for Concern form. You can report your concerns anonymously if you choose to. Your concerns may include issues around a student's health, wellbeing or behaviour or circumstances that may be impacting their academic progress or general management of life at University.

The Well-Being team provide professional and confidential advice and guidance in relation to student well-being and mental health.

University Commitment
The University is committed to supporting and promoting the welfare and safety of students, staff and visitors throughout our operations and environment.
Occasionally students may become vulnerable and the University has a range of services and policies in place to respond to presenting need and help to safeguard them.
Our published Safeguarding Policy explains the framework in place to safeguard against potential risk, abuse and harm, and to appropriately respond to concerns.
The principles set out in the Policy are that the University of Wales Trinity Saint David is committed to:
- Providing a safe environment for all its staff, students and visitors;
- Providing an environment that is safe from harm for those under the age of 18;
- Upholding the rights of children, young people and vulnerable adults to protection from harm, freedom from injury and a safe and healthy environment.
The Policy is based on the National Wales Safeguarding Procedures. The Policy also acknowledges the University’s wider responsibilities in respect of the UK Prevent Duty and the requirement to prevent people from being drawn into radicalisation and/or terrorism. If you have any concerns in relation to Prevent themes then please contact the Interim Prevent Lead Officer, Rhys Dart.
