Q: I have been a victim of antisemitism on campus - what do I do?
A: The University of Bristol's acceptable behaviour policy can be found via this link. If you suffer any antisemitism on campus ensure to report this incident by completing the student unacceptable behaviour form and email it to srs-casework@bristol.ac.uk.
Reporting this to CST is also paramount to ensure that the incident you experience does not happen again.
Finally, the campaigns team at JSoc has accrued a wealth of experience dealing with antisemitism in and around the university so always feel free to reach out and seek our assistance.
