If I am being bullied or harassed at University about my transition or gender identity, who can I talk to and can I report this formally if I want to?

Transphobic abuse, harassment or bullying (including name-calling/derogatory jokes/repeated or intentional use of incorrect pronouns or name) will be dealt with under the Dignity at Work and Study Policy which states that the University will not tolerate such behaviour. It will be treated by the University as a disciplinary offence.

You should tell your Personal Tutor or Student Support Services if you experience any form of transphobic abuse. Support is also available the Centre for Wellbeing.

If you are experiencing abuse, harassment or discrimination in your student accommodation, you can chat with our Communities Team.

You can also make a report via the University’s Report + Support System. This system is a reporting tool to enable staff and students to raise issues and concerns. Reports can be anonymous but obviously cannot be followed up with the person making the report.
