If you think you or someone you know has been discriminated against there is a variety of support options available to both students and staff.
For Students
Wellbeing and Inclusion Support Team
University can feel challenging at times, and you don’t have to face it alone. The Wellbeing and Inclusion Support Team are there to support you every step of the way. Arrange to speak with them — they will take the time to listen, understand your situation, and help identify the support that’s right for you. They can also guide you through your options and help connect you with the most appropriate services, ensuring you have the support you need to succeed and feel confident throughout your university journey.
Student Disability Inclusion service
– the team can provide advice, guidance, and support to students about a range of practical adjustments to your work or studies and can direct you to sources of support if you feel that you have been discriminated against.
Students can talk to their Personal Development Tutor.
Edinburgh Napier Students’ Association (ENSA)
ENSA employs a team of professional advisers to provide one-to-one advice to Edinburgh Napier University students. It’s a free and comprehensive welfare rights and education service. They can offer information, support and advice with signposting and referral to more specialist services.
If you are a student in our accommodation, all of the residences have a team of Student Accommodation Officers and Resident Assistants (RLA’s) living in-house. This team can be an important source of guidance and support for students.
For staff
If you are a member of staff your People Partner will be able to identify the support that’s available for you.
There are two trade unions that represent staff at the University: Unison and the EIS.
