We hope that your University experience is an enjoyable and successful one, but if you ever do find yourself facing difficulties or challenges - don't worry!

Harassment or misconduct support
We hope your time at University is an entirely positive one, but if you ever experience any kind of violence, abuse, bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct or discrimination please don't suffer in silence.
The University has a dedicated team who is there for you, and can help however feels right to you. Whether you want to explore support options, make a formal report, or just talk.
You can learn how to contact the team on their Harassment and Misconduct page.
The video below introduces the team and the how they can offer help to those who need it:
Out of hours and emergency support
If you do ever need to have a confidential and non-judgemental talk to someone in the evening then Leeds Nightline provide a listening service run by and for students from 20:00 to 02:00 every night.
If you, or someone you know, is ever in need of urgent mental health assistance there are a range of options listed on the University website crisis page.
If you have lost something valuable, feel unsafe or need to report a crime on campus, you can contact the University Security Services 24 hours a day. They have also created this short video to introduce you to staying safe whilst you are at Leeds:
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength
