Is any information regarding my mental health shared with my parents?

Sometimes concerned parents make contact, asking for information about their children. In most circumstances, personal information about a student must not be disclosed to anyone outside the University, including parents, without the student’s permission. Students have a right to privacy and they may have good reason for not wishing their parents, close family members or partners to have information about themselves, or even confirmation that they are a student at the University of Surrey. At Centre for Wellbeing students are assured confidentiality in the majority of situations; we will only share information about them with their parents if they ask us to do so and after they have provided us with their written consent.
