Report an incident of harassment

• Bullying and harassment
• Discrimination and hate crime
• Domestic violence
• Sexual violence

We consider all of these behaviours unacceptable and we work with the Students’ Union to tackle these issues in our student community and we want you to know that if you have experienced any of these, it is ok to talk to us and we will listen.

Get emergency help. If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile).

Find a safe space. If an incident has just happened try and find somewhere that you feel safe. If you are on campus and are scared or fearful you can contact Security using SafeZone or by calling 01245 68 6666.

• Our Independent Sexual Violence Advocate (ISVA) is here to support you if you are a victim or survivor of sexual violence. You can access ISVA support through ARU’s disclosure tool, Unsilenced, above. You can self refer through Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre where ARU is co-located via the Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre self-referral form, or you can ask a member of ARU staff or a professional you are working with outside of the university to make a referral on your behalf via the above Unsilenced form.
• Our Harassment Support Officers (HSOs) provide a listening and personalised signposting service to current ARU students who have experienced bullying, discrimination, harassment or hate crime. Fill in the 'Report an incident of harassment' form on our Harassment Support Network page to get support.
• Counselling and Wellbeing Service. The University’s team of professional counsellors and mental health advisors offer a confidential service where you can discuss anything that is worrying you.
• The Students' Union Advice Service is a free, confidential and impartial service where an advisor can provide you with advice, support and representation. They are a safe place to discuss your concerns and they can support you through the complaints process if you choose to pursue this.
• Our Chaplaincy is here for you regardless of your religion or beliefs. You’re welcome to talk to them about anything – they are not counsellors or specialists but are good listeners and can offer you friendly support.
• Student Advice Service offers friendly and professional help, advice and guidance about your academic life if you feel your studies have been affected by what has happened.
• Students' Union Societies: sometimes it can be helpful to share your experiences with others and societies can be a place to discuss these issues with people who have faced similar experiences or who have similar interests.
