The DCSA Welfare Officer has provided a list of important emergency and general contacts for those in need of help. In the first instance, help is available within the college. During office hours contact the deanery office. Or you may prefer to talk to the DCSA Welfare, Womens, or LBGT Officers, all of whom are available to talk about any matters, and are contactable via email or college post. Note, from a landline, numbers beginning 0800 & 0808 are free, and 0845(7) numbers are charged at national rates. Most phone lines are not open 24 hr.
