You have chosen to report an incident or concern to the University of Central Lancashire anonymously. We take all disclosures seriously, but if you choose not to provide your name or contact details, this may constrain the University's ability to take any action under its procedures and we will not be able to contact you to offer advice/support or provide a progress update. 

If you would prefer, you can make a submission that includes your personal details which will enable the Student Wellbeing team (or People team for University staff members) to discuss with you the support and resolutions available. You do not have to include the details of the person you wish to report and can decide to seek support without taking it forward to a formal report. 

A Report and Support submission will not formally begin a complaints process. Further information about the Complaints and Code of Conduct policies and procedures can be found on the Student policies and regulations page of our website.

Choosing to report anonymously means we might not be able to help you directly but can help others. The information you give us today will help us to provide better support to others and inform prevention work across the university.

In most circumstances, the University cannot take action against individuals on the basis of an anonymous report. If you want the University to take follow-up action regarding the incident or concern you are reporting, you should submit a report that includes your personal details, or make a formal complaint.

However, should you share any information in your submission which makes it possible for the University to identify other people, the University may, in exceptional circumstances, be required to act on that information – for example if your report relates to an ongoing issue that the University is aware of, or highlights a safeguarding concern. This may result in the University sharing your report with these individuals. In these exceptional circumstances, we cannot guarantee the other person will not know that you submitted the report. 

You can use this form to make an anonymous report if you choose to do so. If you do include personal data in your report, we may use this in ways detailed in our Student Privacy Notice (or, if you are not a student, on the Data Protection pages of our website). We will not take steps to identify you from your report unless we have good reason to do so, such as if we suspect you are abusing the reporting procedure.
