Tackling sexual harassment and violence  

Sexual harassment and violence have been the focus of important discussions nationwide following the murder of Sarah Everard and therefore, in an article about safety, we felt it important to reassure our community that this is an issue the University takes very seriously, and practical measures and support are an ongoing subject of discussion and action.  

In response to the Changing the Culture report, the University continues to work with the Guild on effective measures to address sexual and online harassment, and to tackle and prevent all forms of harassment and abuse on campus. The University and Guild’s Bystander Intervention Training, which has been delivered to more than 2,000 student leaders in the last two years, continues to address harassment and abuse.

Recently, the University introduced a new Report + Support tool for students and staff wishing to seek advice and support for incidents of bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic violence, hate crimes or discrimination. 

The University understands that institutions like ours have an important and ongoing role to play in addressinsexual harassment and violenceWe will continue with our work in this area and are committed to progressing cultural change, while also ensuring campus is a safe and welcoming environment for all of our students and staff.
