If you feel that you have recently experienced harassment, trained college Harassment Advisors can provide a confidential listening ear, be a sounding board to talk through the issues, clarify the options available to you, and help you put your best argument forward if you decide you want to tell someone else.
Alternatively, the University’s harassment advisor network has advisors available to talk through your situation. A number of named advisors are available who identify as black minority ethnic, or lesbian, gay or bisexual.

Fellows of the College who can be contacted for confidential advice on academic matters
Most teaching or study-related issues can be resolved between a student and Personal Tutor (undergraduates) or Supervisor/College Advisor (postgraduates). Advisors to Junior Members are here to help with any larger problems or if students would prefer to talk to somebody outside of their own subjects. They can also be consulted by the JCR Committee on academic questions affecting students as a group.
The welfare reps provide support on a student-to-student level, and signpost you to support from the rest of the welfare network during term-time. We organise relaxed events, and share resources on Facebook and Instagram: @st_annes_welfare. Message us directly if you have any questions or concerns relating to your own or someone else’s wellbeing and need someone to chat to.
As Disabilities Rep, I’m here to help you with any queries or issues you have related to disability during your time at Anne’s. My job is to point you towards the right members of staff or organisations and ensure that college provides a safe and inclusive space for those with disabilities – for example, by helping with implementing the Access Audit completed in 2020
We are students trained to listen and advise on options for further support if you’re homesick, feeling isolated, feeling low or worried or have concerns about any aspect of college life. We are available in term-time. Please get in touch via email.
