Description
Join our friendly UWE Bristol Police Officers to learn how to protect yourself from common frauds targeting students. You'll discover how to spot warning signs, keep your personal information safe, and know what to do if you encounter suspicious activity. The On Your Side team will also guide you through understanding hate crime in a clear, interactive way, helping you recognise it and access the right support.
You’ll also hear from the Students' Union President, who will share their personal journey as an international student – including the challenges they faced and the services that helped them thrive.
Come along to gain practical advice and useful insights to help you settle into university life feeling informed and supported.
