Any form of upskirting, sextortion or revenge porn is never okay. 

If you think you have been the target of upskirting, sextortion, revenge porn or spiking, it may be hard to know what to do or how to feel. What happened was not your fault. What you do next is your choice. 

Such forms of unacceptable behaviour are contrary to  the Equality Act 2010 and the College Dignity at Work, Student Charter and Student Code of Conduct 

Think 

  •  Are you in immediate danger? If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile). 
     
  • Find a safe space.  If an incident has just happened try and find somewhere you feel safe. If this isn't possible and you are scared or fearful you can go directly to the Student Info & Welfare Centre on your campus.

    Support:

  • Staff and students can go to the Student Info & Welfare Centre on campus. 

  • Students can then speak with Student Advisors or Safeguarding Officer and staff can contact their HR Advisor.

  • To a friend or colleague. Talking things through with someone you trust can sometimes help.
