What happens next

We can also support you through the reporting process. When you contact us (by phone, email or using the online reporting form), we can give you information about support options available at AUT and other organisations. We can also explain the process if you want to make a formal report.

If you make an anonymous report

We consider all reports for student safety, but be aware that AUT can only take a limited range of actions if you make a report anonymously.

If you give us your contact details when you make a report

If you feel ok about giving us your personal details when you make a report, we will contact you to discuss:

• Your disclosure (the incident/s you have reported)
• Your current safety and wellbeing
• Support options (how AUT can support you, connecting with internal and external services)

It remains your decision whether you want to engage with any support, or make a formal report.

If the perpetrator is another AUT student, the Student Liaison Advisor can explain how to make an Allegation of Misconduct to the Manager of Student Conduct.
