At Suffolk New College, your safety and well-being are our top priorities.
All staff have a responsibility to look after you, but we have a dedicated, trained team of professionals available to provide confidential advice and support for any issue causing you concern.
We recommend exploring the Early Help Portal first.

You’ve got this - and we’ve got you!
Our team is here to provide a safe space and professional guidance during the following hours:
Monday – Thursday: 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Friday: 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Whether you want to report a concern, ask for advice, or just need someone to talk to, you can reach us via:
Phone: 01473 382738
Email: support@suffolk.ac.uk
In-Person: Pop into the Student Support offices located at each of our campuses.
Please note, these services are only monitored during the working hours and responses to your requests will be provided at a later point!
If something happens outside of our office hours, the following services are available to provide urgent help.
Please ensure you inform the College Safeguarding Team as soon as possible once our offices reopen so we can continue to support you.
