Working alongside Health Assured

Alongside other University support services, UWE are collaborating with Health Assured to provide all students with access to a 24-hour confidential helpline and digital resources. These resources aim to assist you in navigating through any challenges or issues you may face.

Health Assured - Student Contact Statement

When using the Health Assured support line, you are using a separate service offered to UWE Bristol students.

Health Assured provides a confidential service and the information you discuss with their helpline support workers is not routinely provided to the University unless your health, wellbeing or welfare is judged to be at imminent risk. In these circumstances and where the support worker thinks you need additional support, they will seek your consent to share your name and information about their concerns so they can provide you with further help.

In some circumstances where you are not able to provide consent or where you refuse consent, Health Assured may still decide to share relevant information with the University where it is necessary to protect your or another person's vital interests.

Health Assured may also share anonymised reports with the University so that we can assess the current services available. In some cases, and only with your consent, the University will offer you a direct referral to the Health Assured support line. To make a referral, the University will share your name, contact details and the purpose of the referral.
