Reporting Concerns 

If you are worried about any issues related to Research Integrity or Trusted Research or other interference concerns with your own research, research you are supporting, or research you are aware of then there are colleagues within the university who can help.

It can be difficult to broach concerns, but it is important to do so as it can improve the quality and integrity of the research in question, as well as safeguard vulnerable colleagues, protect the reputation of individuals and of the university, and avoid fines or criminal penalties for both the university and individual researchers.

The university will seek to handle any concerns raised in a professional, sensitive and confidential manner and will support anyone raising a concern, prioritising mitigation of risk or avoidance of harm, and adherence with regulations and university policy.
