Student Support and Staying Safe

Once you have decided to study in Brighton & Hove you will certainly be asking questions such as 'What if something happens whilst I'm in the UK?' or 'Where can I go for help?'  

Your safety and wellbeing as a language student is given a high priority by language schools, the police and the city council, which is why  Operation Columbus operates throughout the country to provide advice for students on how to stay safe.

Operation Columbus gives useful tips and practical advice about:

• what to do if you are a victim of theft or assault
• where to go for help. 

Remember, your language school is also a good point of contact for advice about counselling or how to get in touch with your country's consulate.

You might also find it useful to subscribe to the DirectGov text service, which helps you find the nearest NHS service in the unlikely event that you have an accident.
