I am being bullied. Who can I speak to?

The University of Northampton is committed to ensuring and promoting student safety and wellbeing. If you have experienced or are witness to bullying during your time here please do speak to someone.

Incidents of harassment can be reported by anyone who has experienced harassment or bullying. If you submit a report, we will contact you to discuss what has happened. All reported incidents will be investigated and treated in confidence and action will be taken where appropriate.

To report an incident of harassment or bullying, please complete the harassment reporting form.

Reporting students will always be encouraged to access support and can choose to make a report now or in the future.

If you do not want to be identified, if you are reporting on behalf of another person, or if you have witnessed an incident then please submit an anonymous report.

The University cannot act on anonymous reports, however any information provided will help us to understand the prevalence of incidents on and off campus and to understand the impact of campaigns run by the University and Students' Unions.

The Student Hub Never OK page contains useful information and links, and the University's policies and procedures page contains the Misconduct Policy along with the Student Handbook along with other policies. For help and support with issues around bullying and harassment please contact the Student Support and Advice Team at studentsupportofficers@northampton.ac.uk or call 01604 89 2600.
