Report a concern
If any incident has just happened try and find somewhere you feel safe. If this isn’t possible and you are scared or fearful you can call the security team on 0800 389 8455, or if you are on campus visit any reception or the Student Information Desk.
Where it is considered that there is an immediate danger to the personal safety of any person this should be reported immediately to the police on 999.
You can let us know about the incident or concern in one of two ways, either anonymously or by leaving your contact details. You will be asked for your choice when you begin to complete the form. Please see further information below about the process.
