Monday 14 to Friday 18 November is Anti-Bullying Week. Organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, this year’s theme is ‘reach out’.

The Anti-Bullying Alliance says:

Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out.

Whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied.

We all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour, set positive examples and create kinder communities.

Treating others with dignity and respect at UAL 

Everyone at UAL has the right to be treated with dignity and respect in a fair and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable to contribute.

As part of this commitment, we recently launched Tell Someone, a reporting system for bullying, harassment, discrimination, victimisation and micro-aggressions at UAL.

Who can report and what will happen? 

Everyone working, studying and researching at UAL can log an incident via Tell Someone.

When you contact us through Tell Someone you are not committing to any specific course of action. The form is monitored by a small group of staff who have been trained in responding to and supporting people who have experienced racism, bullying, harassment or sexual violence.

You can report an incident in 3 different ways:

  1. Anonymously
  2. To receive support and assistance
  3. To make a formal complaint

The information you provide is treated as confidential and will not be shared without your agreement. Read more about confidentiality - as well as privacy - when you complete our Tell Someone form.

Get support

In addition to reporting incidents of bullying or harassment with Tell Someone, our support teams are here to support you with whatever situation you are dealing with.
