Find a safe space - If an incident has just happened, try and find somewhere you feel safe. If this isn't possible and you are fearful or in danger you can call security on 02380 593311.
Talk
- Talk to a friend - Talking things through with someone you trust can sometimes help.
- Talk to a professional - Talking your experience through with a professional can increase your insight and empower you to know what options and support you have available to you.
Report
Report and Support - Students and staff can report an incident using the University’s Report and Support system. You can choose to do this anonymously or you can request support from an advisor. If you choose to talk to an advisor they will be able to talk through the options and support available to you, in confidence.
University policy - If you choose to make a formal complaint to the University against a student or a member of staff there are procedures which set out the steps you will need to follow.
