We believe unlawful discrimination is never okay.
Discrimination occurs when an individual or a group of people are treated less favourably than others based on a protected characteristic such as age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion (including faith, belief, or lack of), sex, sexual orientation.
What should I do?
- 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 call security on

- Talk to a friend: Talking things through with someone you trust can sometimes help.
- Seek support: What support is available if I have been discriminated against?
- Report:
- Report + Support Students and staff can report an incident using the University’s Report and Support system. You can choose to do this anonymously or you can request support from an advisor. If you choose to talk to an advisor they will be able to talk through the options and support available to you, in confidence.
- Take care of yourself: It’s important that you take care of yourself. If you’ve heard something distressing or if something is troubling you, Students can contact our student wellbeing team wellbeing@gre.ac.uk.
