Report and Support
Our service enables you to make reports of inappropriate behaviour, either anonymously or with contact details.
We believe that all forms of bullying, harassment, discrimination, disruptive, violent or harmful behaviour are never acceptable.
Our Report and Support platform allows all students, staff, visitors to our campus, and members of the public to report something either anonymously or with contact details.
Make a report
You can choose to make a report anonymously or by providing contact details.
If you submit a report anonymously, you do not need to provide your name or contact details. You could also enable anonymous two-way messaging, which will enable you to contact us with any further concerns.
Anonymous reports can help us identify patterns of behaviour and take preventative action. However, they limit the action we can take. In most cases, anonymous reports alone will not lead to disciplinary action against an individual, as we must ensure a fair and transparent process in line with the Office of the Independent Adjudicator’s Good Practice Framework.
If you make an anonymous report which includes detailed and clear evidence of serious misconduct, we are more likely to be able to take proportionate action.
If you choose to submit contact details and you are a member of the University community, an advisor will support you, explain your options, and help you decide what to do next.
What happens when your report is submitted
If you leave your details and are a member of the University community, you will be contacted to discuss options and any support you may need.
We understand that you may not feel comfortable raising a concern, maybe because you feel it will make things worse, or you may not be believed. Any disclosures made will be taken seriously and treated sensitively.
If you would like to report a criminal offence to the Police, but would like support in doing so, our Welfare Advisors can support you.
