Social Safety at WUR 

We want you – WUR students – to be assured of a positive and safe environment for your studies. Nevertheless, we are aware that unwanted behaviour or unsafe situations may occur within our community.

We show you the way to support and/or how to report an incident. Depending on the circumstances, you may wish to discuss the situation with someone you trust first. You can also use the new Social Safety Contact Point to ask or report anything.

Do not hesitate to speak up, especially when in doubt. We are here to help you, and anything you report will be treated in the strictest confidence.
