Reporting 

Incident Reporting Form  

The University is working closely with the police and other stakeholders to reduce crime and we want you to report incidents that have happened to you. This enables us to understand the size and scope of the problem, so that we can provide appropriate support for you. Completing the form below does not create a formal report to the police.  Incident Form 

Types of incident may include, for example; threats of violence, verbal abuse, physical violence, theft, damage to personal property and damage to accommodation. 

If the incident relates to sexual violence and/or domestic abuse, please view our sexual violence prevention and support pages . We have a Sexual and Domestic Violence Adviser who can provide you with emotional support and advice surrounding your experience of abuse. If you wish to report the incident(s) to the University, you can do this via the University’s Report and Support Service or the Sexual and Domestic Violence adviser can help you to do this if you prefer. 

Reporting Incidents to the University 

Report and Support is the University of Warwick’s single online platform for reporting bullying and harassment, discrimination, sexual misconduct and/or hate crime. 

Our website allows you to disclose both anonymously and with details, to ensure that all students and staff can access support. 

It doesn’t matter if the incident(s) took place on or off campus, or if the incident(s) happened in the past - our Student Liaison Officers are available to provide confidential support and outline the potential next steps. 

No reports trigger a formal complaints procedure, and no further action will be taken without your consent.
