Feeling unsafe or at risk? Reach out.

HERE FOR YOU

We are committed to providing a learning and working environment where students, staff and visitors feel safe and are enabled to fulfil their personal potential. If you experience something that makes you feel unsafe or at risk, whether on or off campus, please report it to us. We are here to offer advice and guidance and ensure you are supported in the way that is best for you. 

URGENT SUPPORT

If you are distressed or experiencing despair, refer to the University's Getting Help in a Crisis guidance. 

If you or anyone else is in immediate danger or harm, then please call the Police or Ambulance Service on 999.

 

Why reach out?

There’s no right or wrong way to respond to a situation that has made you feel unsafe or at risk; it’s about what’s best for you.

It might help to talk to someone; this could be a friend or family member, an external organisation such as Victim Support. Alternatively, you can contact specialist staff at the University via the Report + Support platform by: 

What is Report + Support?

Report + Support allows students to disclose incidents of:

  • Stalking
  • Sexual Misconduct
  • Violence and Abuse
  • The Prevent Duty and Radicalisation 
  • Honour-Based Abuse and Forced Marriage
  • Drugs, Alcohol and Gambling Concerns
  • Bullying and Harassment
  • Hate Crime and Racism
  • Safeguarding
  • Spiking

What if I need to raise a concern about something else?

If you have concerns about a student’s safety or wellbeing (not covered by Report + Support), around mental health or lack of contact, for example, please contact the Hwb in the first instance.
