We believe bullying and harassment are never okay, regardless of whether in person or online. It may help to understand what constitutes bullying and harassment before you decide what to do.
Think
- Are you in immediate danger? 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 you feel safe. If you are on campus you can request support from security by calling 0141 848 3505 (all Scottish campuses) and 0141 848 3047 (for London), or use the SafeZone app. The SafeZone app enables users to call for help and assistance, giving students and staff fast access to security whenever and wherever you are on campus. You can download the SafeZone app by clicking here.
Get Support
- Talk to a friend. Talking things through with someone you trust can sometimes help.
- Is this a situation that could be resolved without intervention? For instance, blocking the person who is bullying or harassing you on social media.
