Welfare and wellbeing

wellbeing and mental health

The Student Wellbeing and Mental Health Strategy adopts a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing – covering all aspects of students’ university experience – from learning and life skills to community, inclusion, and support.

The University's Common Approach to Student Mental Health explains the holistic approach to   student mental health and details of the welfare and wellbeing resources can be found on the University of Oxford website. 

Your RDM Welfare Contact is Jill Walker and you can also contact your local Director of Graduate Studies, or anyone within the Graduate Studies Committee.

Preventing and Responding to Harassment and Sexual Misconduct

The University of Oxford is committed to fostering a safe environment in which all students can thrive. Harassment and sexual misconduct in any form are not tolerated here.

The University has developed a Single Comprehensive Source of Information, Supporting Students at Oxford: Preventing and Responding to Harassment and Sexual Misconduct, which outlines all policies and procedures relating to harassment and sexual misconduct and signposts the support available for students.

Students are required to complete the Consent for Students online training programme. This training is designed to help students understand what consent and healthy relationships means in real-life situations and why they matter

Staff are required to complete the Harassment in Higher Education online training module. This training covers behaviours related to both harassment and sexual misconduct, and supports the creation of a respectful, inclusive workplace.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

The Radcliffe Department of Medicine is committed to eliminating bullying and harassment and has a number of Harassment Advisors who are there to help. 

The Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service provides a safe place to be heard - independent of your college or department. They offer free support and advice to any students who have been affected by sexual harassment or violence.

Oxford Against Sexual Violence is a joint campaign between the University and Oxford University’s student union, Oxford SU, sending a clear message that sexual harassment and violence of any form is unacceptable.
