College Hall: how can we help?

It’s always best to contact us by email, phone, or speaking in person. Please don’t use social media or instant messaging apps to contact us about anything that’s important to you, as we might miss your message.

Emergencies

Staff are available 24 hours a day for emergency help. Ask reception to contact the duty Resident Advisor (RA) or manager. If you need the emergency services, call 999 first, then inform reception so they can send emergency personnel to your location and alert Hall staff to support you.

Welfare, health & wellbeing

Contact the Warden or a Resident Advisor (RA) if you are worried about your studies, health, or wellbeing – including stress, illness, loneliness, disputes, harassment and equality issues. No problem is too big or too small to discuss with the Warden or RAs. If you don’t want a formal meeting, just come and speak with us at mealtimes.
