Glasgow Clyde Rape Crisis
The Disability & Wellbeing Service hosts the University's on-campus support for students who have experienced sexual violence or who are looking for information around consent. If you have experienced sexual violence at any point in your life, or know someone who has, or are looking for information around consent and you would like to talk to someone we can offer you a confidential specialist support service through the Glasgow Clyde Rape Crisis.
Who can use the service?
The service is open to students of all genders who have experienced sexual violence at any time in their lives. Sexual violence is any kind of sexual contact that happened without consent including but not limited to: rape, sexual assault, sharing intimate images without consent, grooming, childhood sexual abuse, forced marriage and stalking. Any student who has experienced any form of sexual violence at any point in their lives can access support. Or if you just want to ask some questions about something that has happened or if you have any concerns. We also offer support to friends and family members of survivors.
How do I access support?
If you are engaging with the Disability & Wellbeing service, you can also ask your Disability Advisor, Wellbeing Adviser or Counsellor to refer you.

What kind of support is available?
We can offer you one-off support if this is what you need, or longer-term one-to-one sessions for survivors and family and friends of survivors. When students are allocated a support worker they will be offered one-to-one support either in person or via Microsoft Teams for up to 10 sessions.
We have a non-directive approach which means that we work with whatever you want to discuss during your sessions. We won’t give you advice or ask a lot of questions and you are not required to go into detail about what has happened to you.
We can also advocate on your behalf if this is something that would be beneficial, whether within the university or out with. This can be discussed in more detail in your sessions.
Is support confidential?
This service is confidential to GCRC, the only exceptions to confidentiality are where the student disclosed a risk to themselves, a child or vulnerable adult.
