Last year I was unsure if I could dedicate time to a committee position instead of working part-time. Luckily, this year I've got just enough money to survive on ice soup and cardboard!

My key policies as Welfare Officer:

• A dedicated weekly drop-in session: Each week I will set aside a couple of hours for members to meet me in-person and discuss welfare-related issues. Doesn't have to be related to the society, it's good to have someone to talk to.
• Support for students seeking mental health & wellbeing or cost of living services: In the national students survey, UCL ranks lower on average for providing information & accessibility to its support services. As someone who's had to use some of these services before, I want to act as a port of call to help students get help from the university where needed. It can be tricky to know what you're entitled to.
• Introduce a confidential welfare & feedback form: If there's something you don't feel comfortable sharing in-person, related to society or interpersonal issues then I want to provide an avenue for people to share their thoughts & feelings on society or interpersonal issues, similar to those used for ArtsUCL or Sports societies.

This will be my only committee position this year, so I can guarantee you that if I'm elected, I will give this role the attention it deserves :)
