If you think you have been sexually assaulted, it may be hard to know what to do or how to feel. What happened was not your fault. What you do next is your choice. 

Think 
  • Are you in immediate danger? If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile). 
  • Find a safe space. If an incident has just happened try and find somewhere you feel safe. If this isn't possible and you are scared or fearful whilst in the Turing’s office space, you can call security on 020 7412 7007 (British Library Control room)  
  • What is sexual assault? It might be useful to think about what is meant by sexual assault and how these behaviours are described. 
Talk 
  • To a friend. Talking things through with someone you trust can sometimes help. 
Report 
  • Reporting to the police. If you're thinking of reporting to the police, rape crisis have produced a useful list of things to think about. 
  • Reporting the incident anonymously.  You can call crime stoppers at any point on 0800 555 111 or use their online form. 
  • Report and Support Any Turing member can report an incident using the Turing’s Report and Support system. You can choose to do this anonymously or you can request support from an advisor. If you choose to talk to an advisor they will be able to talk through the options and support available to you, in confidence. 
  • Serious Sexual Assault. If a student or member of staff wishes to make a complaint involving a serious sexual assault they can contact the Director of People directly.
