Harassment and Misconduct

The University aims to provide an environment for students that is both safe, and conducive to supporting students to fulfil their potential in their studies.

We are committed to creating a community that is actively supportive and opposes discrimination. We strive to create a space that is free from behaviours such as violence, abuse, bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct and all forms of discrimination. 

We encourage reporting of all incidents.

Reporting

The University has a specialist support service (Harassment and Misconduct Team) to help you report to hate crime, sexual misconduct and online harassment to us.

If you are considering making a report to the University, or need support in doing so, please see the Harassment and Misconduct webpages. All reports are taken very seriously and we are committed to addressing issues that are raised. There is some further information on the Harassment and Misconduct webpages about the processes and types of support available.

If you wish to report the matter to the Police or to the University, then the Harassment and Misconduct team can help you understand your options and offer emotional and practical support through those processes.

If you are in immediate danger, threat or serious risk, you should not use the Report and Support website or report to the Harassment and Misconduct Team.  Instead call emergency services (Telephone: 999) and the University Security Services should be notified by Telephone: 0113 343 2222; Email: [email protected] or calling at The Security Office on 175 Woodhouse Lane (available 24 hours).

If you are in need of support please also see the student support services available to you on the University website.
