Bullying and harassment – anonymous reporting tool

BSMS is committed to challenging all forms of bullying, harassment and discrimination. We encourage students to report incidents they have experienced or witnessed. 

This form has been created for the use of Brighton and Sussex Medical School students only.

Students can use the bullying and harassment anonymous reporting tool below or can contact the BSMS Student Advice team to speak to a Welfare Adviser. If you are not sure which course of action to take, please consult the flowchart below. 

Please note that BSMS will not be able to provide a response to an anonymous report. BSMS will not advance or take any action on an anonymous report.

BSMS will record the nature of the report and will use the information collected to make positive changes within the school and to monitor and evaluate the school's culture and environment to make BSMS a more inclusive place to study and learn.   

If you would like action to be taken on your report this is not the appropriate mechanism to use; please make an appointment to see BSMS Student Advice.

  • Students are welcome to provide their name and email address below if they wish to do so. This information is optional and will only be visible to the Student Advice team. It does not commit a student to any further action, but it does mean that we have more options when responding to reports. Please note that if you opt to include your name and email, you will receive a follow up email on your report from the BSMS Student Advice team.

REPORTING HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND OPPRESSION

BSMS is committed to challenging racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia and all forms of harassment and discrimination. We encourage students to report incidents they have experienced or witnessed. Ideally, we hope that students will approach the Student Advice team; however, we recognise that sometimes students prefer to report anonymously.

This anonymous reporting tool is not a replacement for BSMS Student Advice and if you have any urgent concerns or issues you must use our BSMS Student Advice channels as your first point of contact. For more information please visit our BSMS Student Advice pages here.

The anonymous reporting tool is for students who would like to anonymously report an incident. However, please note that we will not be able to identify you or contact you directly and therefore it is unlikely that we will be able to initiate an investigation or formal process about your concerns.

If you're not sure which is the most appropriate course of action to take, please consult the above flowchart.
