LGBT Students
The University provides a range of
information for LGBT students as well as services to all our
students, mindful of difference. Christ Church is a member
of Stonewall and has policies and procedures in place to support
LGBT students.
More information is available from:
www.canterbury.ac.uk/about/equal-opportunities/lgbt.asp
and details of LGBT events are available from:

Whilst we hope that none of our students are victims of bullying, harassment or crime, we know that this occasionally does happen. The University has policies and procedures to protect students from bullying and harassment, and this includes homophobic and transphobic misconduct. In addition, we have worked with Kent Police to encourage reporting of homophobic and transphobic incidents. You can find out more about what to do in the event of bullying and harassment from our pages on "Dealing with Bullying, Harassment and Crime", from where you can also access information on our university policies and procedures.
If
you need to talk to someone in confidence about your experience
at university or need any help or support you can contact our Student Support Services via the i-zone on
01227 782222 or email:
i-zone@canterbury.ac.uk. You don't need to give i-zone
any details, just ask to talk to someone from Student Support
about a confidential matter.
