Speak out and support

The Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Support Service provides a safe, confidential space where you can talk and be heard

Our trained specialist advisers offer free, non-judgemental support to any current student who has experienced sexual misconduct and harassment, stalking, spiking and domestic abuse.

We believe that sexual violence, harassment, domestic abuse, stalking, discrimination, and related behaviours are never acceptable - and we are committed to challenging them.

Experiencing sexual harassment or misconduct can be incredibly difficult, you're not alone, and we’re here to support you. You can speak in confidence with one of our advisers, who will listen without judgement, respect your choices, and support you at your own pace. We’ll help you explore your options and make informed decisions about what comes next, whether you choose to report or not.

If you prefer, you also have the option to share your experience anonymously.
