Student Welfare and Support

Your personal welfare and mental health is of upmost importance in DBS. We are here to listen, and help you get the right supports that you need.   

Please call into the Welfare Team in the Student Services Hub on the 4th Floor in Castle House or e-mail Student Services- We promise to support you in an impartial and confidential manner, along with information regarding counselling options and free support services. 

Information leaflets on a range of welfare supports can be found outside the Student Services Hub and outside the Careers Hub in Aungier St. 

If you require any further information regarding medical needs we would be happy to point you in the right direction, please contact Student Services.
