Have you/someone else been the victim of harassment, discrimination or a criminal offence?
Harassment

If you have been a victim of harassment in work/study environments in Oxford, you can speak to one of the college harassment advisors: Richard Todd (he/him) (richard.todd@stcatz.ox.ac.uk) or Gaia Scerif (she/her) (gaia.scerif@psy.ox.ac.uk). To read more about the college’s harassment policy, see the Anti-Harassment and Bullying Policy. If you don’t want to contact someone in college about your experience, see the harassment advisor network (email caseadvice@admin.ox.ac.uk) or contact the university harassment line directly (harassment.line@admin.ox.ac.uk or call 01865 270760). These services are also available to people who have been accused of harassment. 

Discrimination

If you have been a victim of discrimination, you can speak to one of the college harassment advisors: Richard Todd (he/him) (richard.todd@stcatz.ox.ac.uk) or Gaia Scerif (she/her) (gaia.scerif@psy.ox.ac.uk).

Criminal Offence

You are encouraged to report the crime to Thames Valley Police. If this is not appropriate please contact the Dean, Junior Dean, or Welfare Reps.

Have you/someone else been the subject of sexual violence or assault?

If you are in need of support, or are seeking advice on what to do next, visit the website for the Oxford Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service: ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/supportservice 

If you want to report a sexual assault case within the college, speak to one of the Junior Deans (juniordean@stcatz.ox.ac.uk) who will put you in touch with the Dean and offer you support. You can contact the Dean directly but he can be very hard to reach (email dean@stcatz.ox.ac.uk). Alternatively, if you want to report a sexual harassment case, you can still contact a Junior Dean or the Dean, but you can also speak to the harassment advisors (see above) about this.

For university-wide support you can contact the Student Advice Service: call 01865 288466; or email advice@oxfordsu.ox.ac.uk , the Student Union ‘It Happens Here’ Campaign: email ithappenshere@oxfordsu.ox.ac.uk , or Oxford Nightline: (call 01865 270270)
