Disclosure Response Team

A new student facing-team has been set up to give confidential support around of sexual violence, domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, or other forms of gender-based violence.

The specialist Disclosure Response Team provides a safe space for you to talk about any current or historical experiences. The team is made up of Beth Rees, Health Protection and Disclosure Response Service Lead; Sarah Howell, Disclosure Response and VAWDASV Practitioner; and Tiffany Bressington, Health Protection Nurse Practitioner, and are available to listen, explain options, and help you access appropriate internal or external services at your own pace.

Daily Disclosure Support appointments can be booked through Advice Zone Online and are available by telephone, Microsoft Teams, or in person. You can also email [email protected] if you would prefer to reach out this way.

You can also attend our drop-in sessions:

• 1-4pm Wednesday afternoons: Treforest, H007
• 1-4pm Friday afternoons: Cardiff, CAA002

Students who wish to formally report an incident can do so through the University’s Report and Support system. Reports of this nature may be referred to our specialist Student Casework Team, who will assess the information received and determine any appropriate next steps in line with University procedures.

Where appropriate, the University also works closely with local police and specialist external support services to help ensure students receive the right support and that concerns are responded to appropriately.

If anything has happened to you, recently or in the past, please know that you are not alone. You will be listened to, taken seriously, and supported to make the choices that are right for you. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call 999.
