Let’s be clear on consent is a University initiative that aims to provide students with information about sexual consent as well as tackle the myths and misunderstandings about sexual consent, rape and sexual abuse.

If you have experienced sexual assault or rape, please speak to someone at the university so they can support you. You may initially want to speak to a staff member you know for guidance, but if you are still unsure about who to contact and you wish to speak to a member of the wellbeing team for advice, one of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Speak with a member of the wellbeing team

Our Report and Support team have specially trained Practitioners who can support you if you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault and provide information on reporting options available. To speak to a member please complete this form with your contact information

The University of Nottingham has always maintained a strong commitment to supporting and celebrating our diverse community. We want you to feel safe and welcome in Nottingham because it’s as much your home as it is anyone else’s.

Hate crimes can take many different forms from race and religion to sexual orientation and identity to disabilities. It's important that you know how to recognise and report them.

If you experience hate crime, it’s important to report it. This can help prevent it happening to someone else, and allows the Police to understand hate crime in your local area and improve the way they respond to it.

Nottinghamshire Police launched a new Hate Crime campaign on 06 July 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This campaign is an outcome of partnership work between various organisations that are committed to tackle hate crime across Nottinghamshire in response to any discrimination or verbal abuse experienced during the pandemic.

The Home Office defines domestic violence as 'any incident or pattern or incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 years and over who are or have been intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality'. This can encompass but is not limited to the following types of abuse:

• Psychological
• Physical
• Sexual
• Financial
• Emotional

If you are feeling unsafe in the place where you live please consider contacting the University as we will be able to offer you advice and support. 

You may feel unsafe from family members, a partner or ex-partner or it may be a friendship which has become difficult.

Relationships with friends can also become unhealthy and abusive, and whilst this may not be identified as domestic abuse, it can impact negatively on a student’s well-being and safety. This can particularly be the case when students are sharing accommodation.

If you are worried that a housemate or close friend is causing you harm, please contact the University for advice and support via Report + Support

This integrated, victim-centred support service, provides community based support to victims, which may include providing ongoing support as well as enabling victims to access the main Nottinghamshire Victim CARE specialist service. 

Victim CARE was designed following feedback from victims who have not reported crime to the police.  It is part of the Crime Commissioner’s determination to put victims at the heart of his plans to provide them with the type of help they need, when they need it and his wish to see improved trust and confidence in the services available from diverse communities to encourage self-referrals from victims who typically do not report crimes to the police.

Call 0800 304 7575 or visit the website to find out more about Victim Care and how to self refer

Victim CARE also provides Restorative Justice Support.

Victims do not need to report to the police to receive help from Nottinghamshire Victim CARE.
