Feedback

Your feedback is important to us! We welcome feedback from students.  It helps us to review our services, and to make sure that we are offering you the support you need.  There are a number of ways that you can tell us what you think.

Complete our online feedback survey - chance to win a £50 voucher.

All applicants and students who have received counselling or welfare advice from us are sent an email inviting them to complete our short online feedback survey.  If you have had support from one of our counsellors or welfare advisers, look out for this email and complete the survey while your experience with us is fresh in your mind. We operate a draw three times a year (once each semester and once in the exam term) from completed responses to our survey, and each time one student will win a £50 Amazon voucher. 

We review this feedback regularly and use it to review our services.  You can see a summary of previous feedback below.

Email us via our website.  We are always pleased to hear what you think, whether it’s about our website, our frontline reception service, our self-help materials.
