Welfare and Inclusivity
We really want you to feel safe and included in railsoc, no matter your background, course or culture. If you have concerns about a member of railsoc or an event we are running, please contact the chair in the first instance. Emails sent to this address will be treated as confidential where possible, but in some circumstances we are required to share information with the Students’ Union. If concerns relate to a committee member, please speak to a committee member if you feel comfortable doing so, or make a report to the Students’ Union directly. You can find more details on complaints here.
If you have specific access needs that we are not meeting, please let us know! You can email the entire committee. You can also disclose your needs directly to the Students’ Union. Even if we can’t meet your needs straight away, we can try to improve!
If there’s anything else you want to talk about, please do get in touch with any committee member using whatever form of communication you prefer!
