Internal Communications
Led by Internal Communications Officer Victoria Herd, the Internal Communications team is responsible for keeping our staff and students engaged and informed and is the first point of contact for advice on the planning and delivery of key staff and student messages.
The team manages the content for internal communications channels and can provide guidance and best practice to colleagues.
For advice and support on internal communications, please reach out.

All free University events should be listed on the University events portal and not third party platforms like Eventbrite. The events portal can be used to submit a new event or manage an existing event you have created. If you have booked onto an event while logged in, you can view your ticket information. House Style and accessibility should be considered before submission. Please refer to guidelines on the event form<./a>
Email is an effective way of reaching people but should be used sparingly to avoid overloading colleagues’ inboxes. You can email a group of staff in a specific building, job family, school or unit. Find out more by emailing [email protected].
The Communications Network is made up of colleagues across all Schools and Units in the University and moderated by the Communications Team. Any staff member who has communication responsibilities, or an interest in communications, is welcome to join the team.
We are a community that comes together to explore ideas, advice, collaboration, upskilling opportunities, and honest feedback. We also share practical information, best practice, and discuss challenges. To join the team, please email [email protected].
Resources and guidelines for a wide range of communications topics are provided for staff and students- in the Communications Toolkit.
