Student welfare has become an important issue at Tilburg University. Below you will find information on where you can go for personal or study-related problems.
At Magister JFT, we place great importance on fostering a socially safe environment in which every member feels heard, supported, and protected. To actively uphold this commitment, we have appointed Confidential Contact Persons (CCPs). A CCP is an accessible point of contact for members who wish to share something that affects them—whether it concerns inappropriate behaviour, personal concerns, or situations in which they feel unsafe.
CCPs listen without judgment, offer a safe space for conversation, and refer members to appropriate resources within or outside the association when needed. They play both a preventive and supportive role, contributing to a culture of openness, respect, and care. Thanks to their independent position and diverse backgrounds, they are approachable for all members, regardless of situation or identity.
International Confidential Contact Person
The international female CCP is Megan Du Plessis. She is in her fourth year of the Global Law Bachelor’s programme and served last year as Chair of the former Global Law Board, now known as the Erga Omnes Board.
