Wellbeing and Support

Wellbeing Strategy

As a department we take the wellbeing of our students and staff seriously and we aim to foster an inclusive and supportive culture where everyone can thrive and achieve their full potential. Offering effective and timely support systems, alongside training about mental health and wellbeing for our people and their supervisors / managers, will help the Mathematical Institute endure as a wonderful place to work and study, attracting and retaining the best people and supporting their needs.

1. Proactively promote good mental health and wellbeing
2. Support our leaders, managers and student supervisors to foster an inclusive environment in which students and staff can thrive
