WELFARE COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Welfare Officer, LGBT Representative, Men’s Welfare Representative, Women’s Welfare Representative, Disability Representative, Sheraton Park Representatives, Dryburn Representatives, Livers Out Rep, International Student Officer, and GCR President

The chair of the Welfare Committee, the Welfare Officer, attends weekly executive meetings to discuss the welfare needs of students. We think for you, vote for you, and speak for you on behalf of your best welfare interest when you study in Durham.

As your welfare team, we listen to you in any ways you feel comfortable: anonymous emails, letters, or a private conversation between you and one of our welfare officers with a cup of tea might help you regain your peace, even get inspired to solve the problem afterword. We have a weekly event on a Sunday evening called Tea and Biscuits. This is for an informal chat and where topics such as ‘how to consent’, ‘alcohol awareness’ and ‘care of mental health’ are discussed, to let you know how to protect yourself and your friends as well.
