The Student Wellbeing Centre has recently launched an online reporting system for sexual misconduct, which allows students at the University to report sexual misconduct by another student or member of staff to the Student Wellbeing Centre. Submission of a report using this system will not be considered a formal complaint under the University Regulations, but is a means to contact the Student Wellbeing Centre and let them know what has happened so that appropriate support and advice can be given.
Students can use the online platform to report any form of sexual misconduct which they experience whilst they are a student at the University of Lincoln. This may include but is not limited to:
- Abusive or offensive comments
- Stalking or harassment
- Controlling behaviour
- Taking or sharing of private images without consent
- Inappropriate touching or kissing without consent
- Attempted sexual intercourse without consent
- Sexual intercourse without consent
Students have the option to submit an anonymous report by withholding their name and providing a personal email address rather than their student email address, however all reports must contain an email address so that the Student Wellbeing Centre can make contact and offer support. The decision about whether to access this support will sit with the student who has submitted the report.
To make an online report, students should visit the Student Wellbeing website at http://studentservices.lincoln.ac.uk/sexual-misconduct/. The site also contains guidance, information and sources of support for students who have experienced sexual misconduct.
If you have any questions about the online reporting system please contact Katy Brookfield at kbrookfield@lincoln.ac.uk.
