Testimonial

As an international postgraduate student, facing bullying at university, and then, dealing with its aftermath can be a daunting, confusing and overwhelming experience. I contacted the Report+Support team to explore my options. My adviser patiently listened to me, validated my feelings and took her time to carefully explain the practical ways her team could help me get support and navigate any issue arising out of this incident. She sent an email on my behalf, provided reassurance and checked on me several times after our meeting. I feel grateful I approached the team, despite initial apprehensions. They are really open and provide a safe, non-judgmental space to work things out both practically and emotionally. They respected my boundaries and showed a great understanding of my cultural differences as a non-British student.
