Weston College Stands United Against Racism, Islamophobia and Violence
WE STAND TOGETHER. EVERYONE IS WELCOME.
Weston College is appalled by the recent race riots and violence occurring across the UK including Bristol, that are fuelled by racism, Islamophobia and demonisation of migrants. As a college community, our stance is unwavering: Weston College firmly condemns racism, Islamophobia, and violence in all forms.
While Weston and the surrounding areas have not experienced violence as seen elsewhere, we are actively engaged with the police and local authorities to monitor the situation closely.
However, we understand that these events have impacted our community, both directly and indirectly. We are dedicated to ensuring that all learners, staff, and visitors feel safe and welcome at Weston College and University Centre Weston.
If as a current student, you are affected by what has happened and need support, please see the following:
- Wellbeing@Weston and further support services can be accessed via the MyWeston app, which includes general and specialist support from the College plus links to local and national providers.
For new students joining us in September
- Visit WELFARE | Weston College which holds lots of information for support
If you have any safeguarding concerns, please contact:
safeguarding@weston.ac.uk, or call 01934 411 464
We were encouraged to see the anti-racism movement take a stand across the country last night, and we hope this positive action will make a change. We will continue to monitor the situation and we will update our website if there are any changes.
