Reporting for a Loughborough London student
Whether you are a member of Loughborough University staff, another student or family member, we appreciate that managing concerns surrounding another person can be difficult.
During their time at University, students may be subject to incidents, experience emotional distress, varying levels of physical and mental wellbeing or may experience a traumatic event. These may fit into the categories of emergency, urgent situation and non-urgent situation.
It is good practice to inform the student that you are reporting concerns, unless it is unsafe to do so.
When reporting for someone else please consider whether you can offer signposting or pastoral support for non-urgent situations or actions you would need to take in an emergency.
Think
Is the situation an emergency, urgent situation or non urgent?
Emergency
An emergency situation:
- There is imminent risk to life, including actions to end life or intention to end life, this may include intentional acts (suicide) and impulsive behaviours.
- A student has indicated they wish to harm others, with intention.
- A student's behaviour indicates that they are clearly physically or mentally unwell and require immediate medical attention
- A student's behaviour is disturbed and/or aggressive that puts themselves and other community members at risk.
