Anti-bullying week

Published on 15 November 12

We’re raising awareness of Anti-Bullying week, 19^th – 23^rd November, with plenty of resources for people who are feeling bullied or harassed. Don’t be a victim, seek help.

Equality and Diversity

Our Equality and Diversity team are here to help you by providing support and guidance on equality and diversity related issues. They are working on the dignity at work and study policy which can be viewed here, which protects your rights and gives you advice about how to make a formal complaint.

If you feel you are a victim of bullying, Equality and Diversity also provide trained harassment advisors who can help you deal with your problems. To find out how to get into contact with a harassment advisor, click here.

Nightline

Nightline is a service which provides students with confidential advice from fellow students. You can give them a ring from 8pm - 8am every night during term time. If you ever feel you need to speak to someone from Nightline, or you would like to volunteer to help with Nightline, you can contact them on the phone number that is printed on the back of your student card.

"The Students’ Union Advice Service offers free and confidential advice on a variety of issues including discrimination, bullying and harassment. Our advisers are fully trained to guide students through making a formal complaint in the university’s formal procedures. You have the right to complain if you are being bullied and the university has a responsibility to deal with that complaint. You don’t have to tolerate any form of bullying, intimidation, unwanted remarks or discriminatory behaviour. If you are experiencing bullying the Students Union is here to support you, whether in making a complaint or moral support so that you’re not suffering in silence." Cat Gray, Students’ Union Wellbeing Officer

Counselling service

The Counselling service are a team of professional counsellors and psychotherapists who offer confidential help with any personal issues affecting work, self-esteem, relationships, mental health or general well-being.

If you don’t want to make an appointment with a counsellor, or you feel you can deal with the problem yourself, you can check out the Counselling services’ guide to self help. If you don’t find this useful you may be better arranging to speak to someone in person by making an appointment with a counsellor. Click here to find out how to make an appointment with a counsellor. On the Counselling services’ website you can find out how to get the most from your counselling session.
