    Concerned for a student?

    If you are worried about a student who hasn't been in touch and it seems out of character, please email the  Wellbeing Team on wellbeingservice@bath.ac.uk. Include a clear subject such as 'Please action today: Concern unable to contact student' so the Wellbeing Team know to pick up your email quickly.

    The Wellbeing Team should reply swiftly and are happy to talk things through, as it can cause a lot of anxiety when someone is unusually not in contact.
