Following the appalling acts of terrorism in Manchester last week and Sussex this weekend, we wanted to remind staff/ students, and particularly our Jewish and Islamic communities, of the support available to you. We know that terror attacks increase anxiety and worry and we want to reassure you that we are here to support you in any way you need.
We have a clear commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture and are proud to have a welcoming environment for all. As we welcome staff and students back to campus for a new term, we want to reassure and remind you of the support available to everyone at the University.
