Confidential advice
Problem at work: where to go for help?
In the first instance talk to your direct supervisor or superior.
If this is difficult, there are other places you can turn to:
- If you are a PhD student, talk to the Graduate School Coordinator confidentially.
- All GIUZ members can talk to one of our Confidential Advice Team.
