Make a report
Each group below offers a different reporting option for your circumstances.
All of the reporting teams listed below exist to offer you the space to speak and be heard, with no judgement and will support you with any steps you wish to take.
Record Your Incident
If you would like to record an incident to be included on our map, please complete this form. This record will be kept anonymous, and there is no requirement for you to have reported the incident formally. You can submit this and also receive support or guidance on how to report formally.
If the incident has involved another student or staff member at the University, you can report this to the University for investigation. The department who will usually handle your complaint is the University Proctor. They are responsible for investigating all allegations at University.
If you or a friend are in immediate danger, please call 999.
If you need to report an incident to the police, you can call 101 to report a non-emergency incident or visit your local police station.
If you do not want to report an incident of hate crime directly to the police, you can report it online.
Our advisors can talk through the form with you.
The police will investigate each report received.
You can report anonymously but this may affect any ability to prosecute, and limits the support they can offer as well.
If you are reporting an incident of Sexual Violence, you can also report this through a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC). At the centre, you will be supported by medical staff as well as staff trained to take a disclosure from you. You can also ask for support from an ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) to guide you through the criminal justice system.
These are some of the nearest SARCs depending on your campus:
St Mary’s SARC (Manchester)
SAFE Place (Birkenhead)
The Glade (Telford)
