Misconduct and Harassment Support

University can be a challenging time for some students. Staying on top of your academic studies, worrying about loved ones, social pressures, ongoing medical concerns and financial or housing issues are just some of the difficulties you may experience.

You may find that you are struggling to cope at these times or you are experiencing some unwanted or distressing thoughts, and may turn to self-harm. At these times, talking to someone about your difficulties can make a positive difference.

There is support available for you at the University of Lincoln and if you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or urges to self-harm, please consider coming to speak to an advisor at the Student Wellbeing Centre.

First Contact Appointments

We offer First Contact Appointments to discuss anything that you may need support for. These can be done either face to face or remotely.

Suicide Prevention and Response Action Plan

Here at the University of Lincoln, we are committed to the prevention of suicide within our student community.

The University of Lincoln’s Suicide Prevention and Response Action Plan has been developed in response to Suicide Safer Universities guidance, published by Universities UK (UUK) and PAPYRUS (the UK’s national charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide) in order to help universities to prevent student suicides.

A copy of the Suicide Prevention and Response Action Plan can be found below.
