Our Safeguarding Leads are here to offer support and advice, with staff based at each of our campuses.
At the point a safeguarding concern becomes known, please complete the Safeguarding referral form located on the report pages on this platform providing as much detail as possible. The form will be sent directly to the University’s Operational/Principal Safeguarding Leads for any follow up, including external safeguarding referrals, as appropriate.
Any member of the University community and external visitors to the site can report a concern using Report + Support.
Out of normal working hours, please see 'what to do in a safeguarding emergency'
