Sexual Violence Liaison Officer appointments

Our Sexual Violence Liaison Officers (SVLOs) are highly qualified specialist members of staff who offer support to students who have experienced any form of sexual violence or misconduct. 

Our SVLOs can work with you 1 to 1 to talk you through the options that are available to you, and the support you may want to receive. Support is available for students who have been impacted by sexual violence at any time in their lives. This can include experiences of sexual violence, harassment, abuse, misconduct, inappropriate behaviour, regardless of whether it has been officially reported.
