Trigger Warming: Sexual Violence

Drop-ins with a new Sexual Violence Advisor have been announced by NUSU beginning on 20 October. The Students' Union President, Mady Baugh, announced that students will be able to book a drop-in slot with a specialist in women’s independence and sexual violence from Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland (RCTN). 

The sessions, which will take place in the support and advice hub of the Students' Union, are an opportunity to discuss any issues they, or a friend, may have encountered regarding sexual violence and assault.

The announcement comes as part of an effort by the union to try and “enhance the support that students can receive at the Students' Union around sexual and gender-based violence.”

The drop-ins offered by RCTN take place between 1-4pm on Thursdays and will continue through the rest of the semester. These sessions provide a safe and confidential space where students can seek out information, trauma advice, further referrals and ask any questions they may have with an independent and informed expert. Drop-ins are open to anyone and booking can be accessed through the Students' Union's online Welfare Centre linked below.
