Who will my information go to?
[Detail here who the submissions will be seen by. If you have routing based on the person who is reporting, describe how that works on this page. We’ve included an example below.]
Routing example:
When you submit the report, it goes to one of 3 options:
If you are a student, it goes to the Head of Student Wellbeing, who reviews the report and assigns it to a relevant member of the student support team or the student conduct team, where appropriate.
If you are a staff member, the report goes directly to the Head of HR Business Partnering, who assigns the report to the relevant HR business partner for your area.
Reporter selection example:
Our lead system administrator is responsible for reviewing and assigning your report. This is a member of the Behaviour and Culture Team. They will assign the report to your preferred responder or in some cases (if there is a risk of harm to you or others), they may escalate the report to a member of the senior management. You can state if there is anyone whom you do not want to see your report. Reports are confidential, and only specific and necessary individuals will be assigned to your report; in most cases, this is one or two people.
If you would like to request a specific responder, you can; however, we can’t always guarantee they will be available.
If there’s someone you would rather not speak to, then you can state that when reporting.
If you don’t have a preference, you can also select ‘I don’t know/no preference’ and an administrator will assign whomever is most appropriate and available.
Here is further information about each of the responder roles you can select when reporting:
Student Wellbeing
The student wellbeing team are here to help you talk through what you have experienced. They can offer pastoral support and guidance on academic mitigations should you need them. They can signpost to internal and external support services.
Student Conduct and Complaints
The student conduct and complaints team can support students with a range of resolution options for student misconduct. If you wish to raise a formal complaint, this is the team to contact. They can also offer informal resolutions; this process will not make any findings or decisions about whether the behaviour took place and will not be recorded on your student record. Informal resolution options include facilitated conversations (you do not have to meet with the other person) and conduct agreements (which can include not making contact with one another or agreeing not to use certain parts of campus at the same time).
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Team
This team can offer support and training to teams across the university. They do not offer 1:1 case work support, but can be requested through Report + Support to deliver culture interventions which will benefit your entire cohort or team.
My Head of Department/Director
If you wish to make a report directly to your head of department or director, we recommend having a conversation with them directly if you can. If you do not have a direct working relationship with them, we can connect you to them through this platform.
Human Resources Business Partner
The HR business partnering team are experienced advisors that can support you with a wide range of employment issues. This team can offer advice and support if you think you’ve been the target of bullying, harassment, discrimination or a hate crime. HRBPs can support informal resolution options for addressing staff behaviour in addition to providing information and guidance on formal action, such as formal investigations and subsequent disciplinary action
Employee Relations
If you wish to raise a concern about a staff member's conduct and would like the matter to be dealt with formally, you can speak with the employee relations team about raising a grievance. Grievances will be investigated, and if there’s a case to answer will go to a disciplinary panel.
Security
If you are a student, member of staff or a visitor and you are concerned about your or someone else’s safety, you can contact the security team. If you have been the victim of a crime and would like support, including reporting to the police, specialists in the campus security team can support you in this.
Harassment Advisor
Harassment advisors provide a confidential information service to staff and students on issues relating to bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct.
Advisors are volunteers who work in various roles across campus and undertake this task in addition to their regular duties. Harassment Advisors receive two full days of additional training to undertake the role. They can provide a supportive, non-judgemental listening service and signpost you to appropriate support. Additionally, they can provide you with information about what informal and formal action involves.
Students’ Union
If you are a student and wish to be supported by our students’ union, they can offer an independent advice service. You can contact them through this platform.
