Welfare and Advice

As head of the College, the Warden is ultimately responsible for the welfare of the Junior Members.

Day to day, the welfare function is delegated to an experienced welfare team in the College. This team is available to listen to student concerns and offer support.

Undergraduates and graduates can contact us at any time. However, please note that we are unable to discuss welfare issues with parents or guardians.
