Contact Advocacy

Please note that the Advocacy Service will be closed from Friday 20 December and reopening on Thursday 2 January 2025. 

We are currently experiencing very high demand on the service, so our response times may be affected. Please do not submit multiple contact forms. We will prioritise urgent enquiries. 

The Advocacy Service uses an empowerment or strength-based approach, where we seek to resource and equip students to deal with their matter themselves via the provision of policy and strategic advice as well as general feedback. Graduate, undergraduate, domestic and international students are welcome to use this free and confidential service.

Contact Advocacy Form

Please don’t forget to hit submit when you have filled out the form! We will prioritise urgent deadlines, but if your deadline is imminent and you have not received a response, please refer to the guidance on our webpages.
