If you are not in immediate danger, currently feel safe from harm and do not need to report an emergency - then speaking to someone about your options is a great place to start.
University Support:
- Report and Support: If you submit a report with details, a specially trained Liaison Officer will be in touch within 2 University Working Days. Your report will not trigger a formal complaints process, and the advisor can confidentially speak to you about both your reporting and support options. You will never be forced to submit a report to the police, a Formal Complaint to the University or a Grievance to HR- as this is your choice.
External Support:
- Victim Support: is the independent charity for people affected by crime and traumatic events in England and Wales. Their support is free and confidential.
- Your Union
If you are a student: Warwick Students’ Union Advice Centre is a third party Hate Crime reporting centre- the expert staff can also provide support, advocacy and advice to students even if they do not wish to report.
If you are a member of staff: and have opted to join one of the three unions recognised by the University; UCU, Unite and UNISON, they will be able to offer advice, advocacy and support.
All help and advice from unions is independent of the University of Warwick.
