We recognise that this is a difficult time for students who need to self-isolate because of COVID-19 cases, especially those who are new to Sheffield.

Here are some of the ways we’re working to support our students

To make sure we’re supporting students in the best way possible, we will contact all students who are self-isolating to check on their welfare and offer practical and emotional support.

For students staying in University accommodation, we will also:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> Offer support in accessing medication, shopping and food deliveries - including access to a guaranteed delivery of an ‘essentials’ food, toiletries and laundry product package while self isolating

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> Provide details for local collect and deliver laundry services

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4"> Make sure that all students know what to do if they or their flatmates become symptomatic, or very unwell

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> Offer a range of online Residence Life activities to support engagement and community building

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="6️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 6" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 6"> Provide daily peer to peer support drop-in sessions for students who are not self-isolating and may need assistance or signposting to support services

We are in continuous contact with @SheffCouncil, Public Health England and other partners to make sure that we are sharing information about the local situation and responding to the latest guidance.
