Graduate Student Peer Supporters
This page includes information about your graduate student peer supporters, as well as additional sources of support in the wider University of Oxford.
Graduate Student Peer Supporters
Peer support offers an easily accessible and relatively informal opportunity to talk through any issues which may be concerning you. Often it can help simply to get things off your chest or to know that someone is genuinely willing to listen and take time to understand what’s on your mind. Sometimes just talking things through is enough; sometimes it may lead you to seek more professional help. All Peer Supporters have been carefully selected and trained to take up this role.
The below DPAG Peer Supporters are contactable via email format name.surname@dpag.ox.ac.uk.

Harassment and conflict advice for students
Wellbeing at Oxford is a campaign that highlights the University’s institutional focus on student mental health and wellbeing.
It provides information about the new Student Wellbeing and Mental Health strategy, and provides easy access to information for students looking for wellbeing support.
Oxford Against Sexual Violence
Sexual harassment and violence is any unwanted sexual behaviour which takes place without consent, whether you know the person or not. It can happen regardless of your gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or age. It can happen online or in person.
Sexual harassment and violence of any form is never acceptable. A University of Oxford campaign with Oxford SU focuses on the range of support available for our students, including the University's Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service.
If you have been affected by sexual harassment or violence in any form, Oxford's Support Service is here to help as a safe place for you to be heard, regardless of age or gender.
The Support Service comprises a team of highly trained Specialist Advisors and an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor who provide free and confidential support and advice to our students, independent of your college or department.
The Support Service can help support you at your own pace. From practical support to keep you safe and feeling safe, help with managing the impact on your studies, and emotional support, we are here to support you, whatever you choose to do.
You can contact the service by emailing supportservice@admin.ox.ac.uk or refer yourself or others via ox.ac.uk/supportservice
We are committed to preventing and responding to incidents of sexual harassment and violence at Oxford. We have made disciplinary processes more transparent and the online Consent Matters programme is available to all students as we review consent provision across the collegiate University. ox.ac.uk/consent-matters
