Welfare Tutors/ Wellbeing Officers

Each School has their own Welfare Tutor(s) or Wellbeing Officer(s) able to provide practical and emotional support for you if you are experiencing personal problems that interfere with your academic work.

They can recommend sources of professional help and, if appropriate, will guide you through the extenuating circumstances process. However, it is up to you to ask for their assistance in a timely manner.

Welfare Tutors and Wellbeing Officers are effectively the same position, however some schools use Welfare Tutors and some use Wellbeing Officers. They are both equally able to provide support and assist you with regards to student welfare/wellbeing. There is also a Reasonable Adjustment contact within each School, who will be a Welfare Tutor/Wellbeing Officer.

You can also approach Student Support in the Aston Webb Student Hub. If you need support with your academic work, you should see your Personal Academic Tutor within your Department.
