What we’re asking you to do
1 in 4 female students experience unwanted sexual attention during their studies. Colleges and universities want to encourage students, and staff, to make a disclosure if they experience gender based violence, and to feel confident that they will be supported.
It’s possible that you might receive a disclosure of gender based violence from a student or a colleague. We’re asking you to carry a support card on you at all times so that you have information on specialist helplines at your fingertips. The best outcome is that the person seeks specialist support as soon as possible.
If you work at a college or university and you haven’t yet received a card, please contact your HR department which should be able to help you. If you work in one of the private student accommodation providers and would like a card, please contact: info@universities-scotland.ac.uk
