If you are a student, you can approach your NUSU Student Advice Centre (SAC) for support.

Both the University and Student Union have ways of reporting incidents of discrimination, harassment, violence and hate crime. You can use whichever you feel most comfortable with:

• Survivor Support Service
• NUSU Report & Support Disclosure Form (you can choose to report anonymously or to request an appointment with SAC).

Northumbria Police have an online form for reporting incidents which specifically asks about threat, force, violence or intimidation which may be related to race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.
