This free platform allows you to take courses from allyship to race and religion, so you’ll be ready to help kick out discrimination. 

Report + Support

Reporting hate crime and incidents

If you experience or witness incidents of hate on campus, let us know via our informal reporting system, Report + Support. This ensures we know what’s happening on campus and within our University community, so we can do something about it and support you. You can report anonymously.  

Kick It Out also have their own separate reporting system specifically for discrimination in football. If you see this discrimination outside university on a pitch, in a stadium or online, you can report it to Kick It Out. They can get the right people involved and support everyone affected.
