Any form of Racism is never okay.

Think 
  • Are you in immediate danger? If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can contact the emergency services on 999 (or 112 from a mobile phone).
  • Find a safe space.  If an incident has just happened try and find somewhere you feel safe. 
  • What is Racism? It might be useful to think about what is meant by racism and racial microaggressions and how these behaviours are described.  
 
Report
  • Report and Support. Students and staff can report an incident using the GSA's Report and Support system. You can choose to do this anonymously or you can request support from an advisor. If you choose to talk to an advisor they will be able to talk through the options and support available to you, in confidence.
  • GSA Procedure. If you choose to make a formal complaint to the GSA about a student or member of staff there are procedures which set out the steps you'll need to follow.
