Single Reporting Tool
BSMS understands that sometimes things go wrong, or you experience or witness something that causes you distress or inconvenience. We developed this reporting tool to enable students and staff to easily report any issues they have experienced as soon as they arise, and respond to and address these in a timely and helpful manner.
You are welcome to report any issue you have experienced, witnessed, or being told about, including (but not limited to):
- Concerns about your own health and wellbeing, or that of another student or peer;
- Concerns about unprofessional or problematic behaviours exhibited by a peer, staff member, or colleague;
- This specifically includes incidences of bullying and harassment, sexual misconduct, and discrimination; both in person and online
- Matters of complaint relating to the academic provision of your course;
- Matters of complaint relating to an incident or incidents of behaviour from another student or staff member;
- Matters of complaint relating to an area of non-academic provision i.e. funding, accommodation, facilities.
- Any issues you experience while on placement; either relating to the organisation/arrangement of the placement, or an issue or incident that occurs while you are attending a placement;
Reports cannot be made to this tool anonymously, as we need to know who you are in order to follow up or take any responsive action, but submitting a report does not mean you are automatically obligated to engage with any of the School’s internal procedures. Instead it invites the Student Casework Team to contact you directly about the matter you have reported, and provide information and advice on potential next steps, but action will not be taken without your consent unless your report suggests that there is immediate risk of harm to yourself or anyone else.
If you want to report anonymously, please refer to the Anonymous Reporting Tool but please note that no response can be provide or action taken with regards to a report made anonymously.
If the matter you are reporting relates to an incident of harassment, discrimination, violence, or abuse of any kind, this can be reported via this tool to notify the Medical School and enable us to address the issue and take appropriate action if required, but you may wish to reach out to the University of Brighton’s #NeverOK Disclosure Response Team who can provide and signpost internal and specialist support, assist you with reporting this formally, and help you manage your own safety and wellbeing. More information on this service can be found here.
