Being bullied or harassed? Not on our watch. When you tell us, we can address it and help you. You can report bullying or harassment on the basis of protected characteristic through Report + Support or through Student Services (Students) and Human Resources (Staff). If you find that too difficult or are unsure what to do, tell a friend, a colleague or lecturer. Or someone that you trust.
