Student Signposting

by Alice Schofield

Somebody approaches you to report an incident which is happening right now

  • Ensure the immediate safety of the victim- for example you may stay with the victim whilst you get somebody else to go and fetch further help

  • Refer to the four D's of bystander training: (https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=4+d%27s+of+bystander+intervention#id=9FD8698E3E35C31408125CE54D3A960FBFB26E8C)

  • If in Griff/ Drapers report to barstaff and security (whilst ensuring the continued safety of the victim)

  • Aftercare: make the victim aware of the various support services available to them (at bottom of this email)

  • Can be reported to Sophie as welfare rep via email


Somebody approaches you about a historic incident/ ongoing incident (i.e the student is not in any immediate danger)

Welfare/ pastoral: referral to the support services (below)

  • If victim is comfortable report to Ella/ Sophie as they are the most in the know in terms of Zero Tolerance

  • If incident happened in Griff/ Drapers contact venues 

  • If incident happened in general campus (including Dawson Hall) report to security

  • Report to Welfare

  • As part times officers we are not trained to counsel/ mentor these students ourselves as tempting as it is- however I believe it is ok for us to encourage them to seek support from these sources and accompany to any appointments etc if they wish


DON'T report anything without the consent of the victim
