Student Welfare

Wadham’s Welfare Advisors provide individual welfare support—listening and signposting—for all Wadham students. You can talk confidentially and freely about any kind of social, emotional, personal, or psychological issues, without fear of judgement. Likewise, Wadham's Welfare Lead is available all year to meet with you.

The Tutor for Women, Tehila Sasson, deals with issues, problems or queries relating particularly to the life of women students in College, including academic, social and personal problems. She liaises with the Wadham SU Women's Officer and with Tutors for Women in other Colleges.
