What happens when you contact SARC?
Our trained staff will talk to you confidentially about what has happened. We will listen to you, believe you and talk to you about your options.
We can connect you with support services, and assist you to manage the impacts on your studies.
We can provide information to help you decide if you want to make a formal report to the university about what has happened. You may also decide to report the matter to the police - we can help you to do that too.
Be assured, we will keep you informed and support you every step of the way.
