What Do People Say About the Report & Support Service?
It might interest you to hear from other people who have experienced something similar to you. That’s not to say every experience is the same – it isn’t; but it can be reassuring and affirming to know that you are not on your own.
In our yearly survey to the students who had accessed support with us, we asked, "Is there anything that you would like to say about the service?" These are some of the responses:
- I am eternally grateful for xx support and guidance. She helped me find my inner strength and I can see the difference it has made in my everyday life.
- Friendly staff
- It's a vital service please continue to provide it.
- I would have really struggled with my situation at home if it hadn't been for this service especially in lockdown. I felt very isolated and alone as I couldn't talk to friends and family.
- Excellent service, couldn’t support me more through my experience!!!
- Amazingly helpful. Thank you
We also asked, ‘What advice would you give to other students in the same situation as you?"
- Always report anything
- To not feel as anxious as they might be because all of the advisors and staff are patient and helpful and non-judgemental
- When I made my report I was so broken and hopeless. However, reporting was incredibly easy and I was greeted with a fast, empathetic and non judgmental response. From that moment I knew I had an ally.
- Make use of this service it's vital and does make a difference. Takes some pressure off you by having a confidential conversation, so your not alone.

Report and Support Data
Each year we gather data from the reports to produce an anonymised annual report which includes the number of reports submitted, the types of incident, the location, the number of people who have accessed the Report and Support Team and the outcomes of our work with them.
