Zero tolerance towards bullying, harassment and discrimination

The University of Manchester is a global institution that welcomes diversity.

We’re part of Manchester, a cosmopolitan, diverse, vibrant and friendly city. And we know from our history that world-class scholarship and research require the engagement and exchange of people and ideas.

It’s crucial that we continue to welcome and support our staff and students of all nationalities. This is particularly important in light of some reports, across the country, of harassment or abuse towards individuals, particularly those from outside the UK, or who are believed to be from outside the UK.

Bullying, harassment, and discrimination are never OK. No-one on our campus or in our surrounding communities should be treated badly. We won’t tolerate any kind of abuse or intolerance in our community. 

If you experience or witness any incident of this kind on campus, you can report it anonymously or get support from an adviser:

• Report and Support form

If you witness an incident off campus then you can report it as a hate crime or incident to the police or to The University of Manchester Students’ Union Advice Service, which in conjunction with Greater Manchester Police is a Hate Crime Reporting Centre.
