Support Ukraine

Many members of the college community have been asking what they can do to show their support for the people of Ukraine. Our enrichment team has put together some activities and suggestions for you to do this.

You can show support for Ukraine by:

Leaving a message on this online message board
Leaving a message of support on one of the message boards that will be at your campus later this week
Sending us a soundbite of your message to Enrichment@southessex.ac.uk
Creating a poster of support and sending it to Enrichment@southessex.ac.uk
Making a donation to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal | British Red Cross

We understand some may be feeling anxious about the developing situation, especially those who have friends and family living in the region.

Please be assured that you are not alone. There are a range of services available to you both inside and outside of the college environment which can provide support when you feel you may need it.

You can find out more about these services on Moodle here

Masks on Campus

The government has announced that all Plan B measures will be removed in England, with a full return to Plan A by Thursday 27 January. For education this means face coverings are no longer required to be worn in classrooms / teaching areas.

Please note, the requirement to wear a face covering in communal areas of the college will remain in place until Thursday 27 January. Although it may no longer be a requirement to wear a face covering in classrooms/ team rooms, we understand some people may still wish to continue to wear one and we support this. We understand there are circumstances in which people may not be able to wear a face covering for medical reasons. If anyone is medically exempt they should speak to their tutor for an exemption pass. Thank you for your continued support.
