Report + Support
If you are a student and make a named report here, our Intercultural & Anti-Discrimination Adviser can meet with you online or in person to discuss your support needs and provide signposting to other services, including the Student Conduct team, Security and the Police.
If you are a staff member and make a named report here, assigned staff will carefully consider the details provided, and a member of the HR Team will be in touch to discuss this with you, to offer support and provide advice around the next steps.
No matter whether you are a student or a staff member, if you choose to report anonymously, that is ok too. We want to know what is happening to students and staff on campus and in the city. Your report will inform us of this.
