What action can you take from anonymous reports?
Information provided within anonymous reports will largely be used as statistical data to understand what is happening and to inform proactive, prevention work within the College. Because the College does not know who has made anonymous report, we cannot reach out and provide support to that person. If someone wants to receive support or consider informal or formal options to address a concern, they would make a named report with their contact details.

What happens when someone makes a named report with their contact details?
A limited number of College staff, relevant to their role, can access the Report + Support platform. They will initially review the report submission before assigning it to a caseworker and it is this person who will be in touch with you.
What if someone is named in a report?
If a student, member of staff or third party are named in a report submission, then, this information may be used to initiate a formal process, if you ask for this, or for the College to take action if we have safeguarding concerns.
