Welfare Officers & Student Advice Centre
Undergraduate Students:
The Union of Clare Students (UCS) has a Welfare Officer, who is there to aid students by providing support and advice for any problems within college. Alongside two welfare reps, it is their job to be active in college life, providing information about sexual health and work stress etc. They are able to provide resources such as condoms, pregnancy and chlamydia tests. Although these are important aspects of the role, the welfare officer primarily is there to, along with the nurse, provide any form of support required by all of the student body.
For further information please see the UCS Website
Graduate Students:
The Middle Common Room (MCR) at Clare is the home to around 300 students who are studying for Masters or Doctorates in the Arts and Sciences. There is a MCR Welfare Officer who is there to support graduate students.
For further information please see the MCR website
External to College:
CUSU & the Graduate Union provide confidential and independent support to all students through the Student Advice Service They employ a full time, Professional Student Adviser whose primary role is providing confidential support to students. The Welfare and Rights Officer, the Education Officer, and the Women's Officer are also able to provide support and representation.
You can contact the CUSU Student Support Officer, Education Officer and Women's Officer at any time, whether it's a first point of call or a last resort. Their support is student-centred and free: they are independent from the College and the University so no one will know that you've contacted them unless you tell them.
