College and University Advice and Support

If you would like to talk to someone about harassment or bullying, including behaviour that is unwelcome towards you but you might be unsure whether it’s harassment, there are a number of people who can offer advice and support.

In college, you can talk to:

College Harassment Advisors (These are academic staff, who have been trained to work as harassment advisers. They are available to see people of any and no gender, you are free to contact whichever person you feel most comfortable speaking to – the email address refers to the gender of the officer and not the person who can contact them).

Sexual Violence and Harassment

If you have experienced sexual violence you may wish to consider any or all of the options below, but how you proceed is entirely your decision:

  • You can call the police and report the incident, where evidence will be collected. Information about preserving evidence can be found here.
  • You can contact Solace, which provides advice on the next steps and can refer you to a Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where you can receive medical and forensic help without necessarily getting the police involved.
  • You can receive medical attention from A&E, your GP or the College Nurse, Anne Harpin.
  • You can receive emotional support and help with accessing external services from any of our Wellbeing Team - all contacts are listed here. You can also receive emotional support from the University's free Counselling Service (not an emergency service).
  • Additional resources for the LGBTQ+ community can be found here.

Oxford University Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service
