Report anonymously - Report + Support - University of Stirling

If you are reporting GBV which has taken place within the last seven days we recommend contacting the Sexual Assault Response Coordination Service (SARCS) as soon as possible. For further information about urgent assistance please visit our website.

Anonymous reports help us to better understand the broader picture around gender-based violence, bullying, and harassment amongst our community and may help to enhance our future work in this area. If you choose to submit an anonymous report please be aware that no action can be taken, nor advice provided on behalf of an anonymous report.

If you would like to discuss support options you can use our Speak to Advisor and Access Support form. We can also talk to you about formal reporting routes, such as to the University or to the Police, if this is something you are considering.

More information about what we do with your information can be found on our website under ‘Will my information be kept private?’
