It can be difficult to report any incident of sexual abuse. You may feel anxious, worried and even fearful if you do report particularly if you know your perpetrator. You may even think there is little point reporting as nothing will get done or you have had previous negative experiences with the police.
However it is vital that incidents of sexual abuse are reported so that the University has a full picture of what is happening within our community. This knowledge could help us to take targeted action and in the future, better support others who may face similar experiences. It may feel daunting to report any incident but the University can support you through the reporting process.
Sexual abuse and rape are all illegal and you can make a report directly to the police. To report to the Police phone 101 or visit a Police Station. In an emergency always call 999.
