Dear Students,
We hope you are enjoying the start to this new academic year.
As we come together again, I wanted to reiterate the importance of our campus as a welcoming and safe space for all.
We value staff and students of all backgrounds and strive to connect with all of our communities and partners, locally, nationally and internationally. At the 黑料网, we believe that everyone belongs. We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive community where everyone is welcomed, respected and supported regardless of background, identity or belief.
Your safety matters – Use the SafeZone app
Your safety is our priority. The SafeZone app is free and connects you directly to our University Security Team. Whether you need urgent help, first aid, or are studying late and want to check in, SafeZone is here for you. You can also report suspicious activity anonymously through the app.

We are committed to maintaining a respectful and safe environment for all. The University does not tolerate any form of:

- Discrimination or hate speech
- Gender-based violence or sexual misconduct

If you experience or witness any such behaviour, please report it using our Online Reporting Tool. You can choose to remain anonymous, and you do not need to make a formal report to access support.
