Andy Allford - Director of Sport
Hi, I’m Andy, Director of Sport for the University of Birmingham - welcome to our Report + Support page.
Here at UoB Sport & Fitness the wellbeing of our students, members and staff is a top priority and it is our goal to ensure all feel safe and comfortable whilst engaging in our activities and using our facilities.
We want everyone who engages with UoB Sport & Fitness to feel supported enough to reach out when needing help, and empowered to report any behaviour that is upsetting, offensive or dangerous and know that they will receive the highest level of support from us to resolve the issue. On these pages you will be able to access the reporting processes as well as support resources.
As we have thousands of students engaging with sport throughout all our wonderful offerings such as clubs and campus league, it is impossible for us to be aware of every individuals conduct at all times. This is where you come in; if you see behaviour that you know is against our conduct policy and report it you will be helping us to maintain a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and safe.
Similarly, if you see someone struggling who may need support with their wellbeing please encourage them to reach out, or reach out on their behalf using the resources on these pages - we want to ensure all students know exactly where to access help if and when it is needed to ensure they get the correct support!
The Report + Support service at the University of Birmingham maintains the highest level of privacy and support. All information shared will be kept private and your permission asked before contacting others.
Many thanks for taking the time to explore our incredible support resources and we look forward to engaging with all your sporting needs this academic year!
