Harassment Reporting Statistics

The University collects data from all reports made using our Online Reporting Tool. These will be published quarterly from the 2023 Academic Year.

The University collects data from all reports made using our Online Reporting Tool. Data from the tool will be published quarterly below.

Our Online reporting tool was launched in early 2019, initially focused on taking reports about sexual harassment and violence. Since spring 2020 the tool was expanded to receive reports of all forms of harassment. Over the years, changes have been made to maximise the impact of the tool, and this will result in slight changes in the way our data is presented over time.
