We are committed to stamping out any form of unacceptable behaviour. That’s why we are sharing the findings of our first annual report for our online disclosure platform Report + Support, which is where members of our community report concerns to us on issues such as sexual misconduct, harassment and discrimination so that they can get the help they need. Read the report.
The Pronouns Pledge
The Queering University programme at Warwick has launched the Pronouns Pledge to make it as simple as possible to engage with inclusive best practice on pronouns, and to build a movement of people taking these steps together. Find out more and take the pledge.
Face coverings and COVID-19 testing
We'd like to remind you that face coverings are a really vital part of our community effort to keep safe on campus. We all have a responsibility to protect both ourselves and others, so please do wear a face covering when you are moving around crowded or enclosed spaces, and when you are in learning, teaching, research and non-library managed study spaces.
Get tested if you’re experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19 at Test and Trace on campus or an NHS facility. If you test positive, please let us know.
Scams - spot scams to keep yourself safe
Some students are being called and messaged by scammers who ask for money. The perpetrators may say they are from the police, the government or a university-affiliated body. If you receive a message asking you for money, please do not respond or send money. Do not click on any links or reply to messages or calls. Find more information on avoiding, spotting and reporting scams.
