Report and support options for sexual assault, harassment, bullying, hate crime and hate incidents

Getting support

What support can I access (including if I don’t want to report to the police)?

Reporting to the police can be traumatic, emotional and stressful. A police investigation, alongside the effects of a hate incident, can take its toll and can have a significant impact on the reporting person’s life. There are a range of support services which you can access to support you during and after the investigation. This includes support with wellbeing to help you on the road to recovery, and support with your academic studies and engagement with university life.  

You can access support services at the University, including free counselling, as well as help from various charities and helplines.  

As well as helping you with deciding whether or not to report to the police, the Care and Concern team will help you access a range of support services available to you.
