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 employees 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.
- Take care of yourself. It’s important that you take care of yourself. If you’ve heard something distressing or if something is troubling you there are services that offer confidential help. Find out more about support options both within and outside of the University for dealing with bullying and harassment.
Report:
- Reporting to the University. Students and employees can report an incident using the University’s Report + Support pages.

If you choose to make a report with contact details, we will be able to talk through the options and support available to you, in confidence. You can make a report using the buttons below.
- University Procedure. If you choose to make a formal complaint to the University about a student or employee there are procedures that set out the steps you will need to follow.
