Report and Support is an online reporting tool for our students to submit a report about misconduct they experience on campus. GCU is dedicated to identifying and tackling inappropriate behaviour, whenever it arises. No one in our community should ever be the focus of gender based violence, sexism, racism, discrimination, assault, bullying, harassment or any other offensive conduct.
By reporting an incident you experience or witness, you could help prevent something similar from happening to someone else.

The Student Wellbeing Advisory Group is a cross-institutional working group and was formed in 2018 to continue working to support student mental health and wellbeing. The group features representation from across the GCU community, including academics, GCU London, GCU Students' Association and GCU London Students' Association. The group has overall responsibility for the development and implementation of GCU’s Student Mental Health Action Plan.
In 2020, Glasgow Caledonian University were one of three Universities across the UK who were successfully selected to participate in Student Minds’ University Mental Health Charter Accreditation Scheme. The Charter aims to recognise and benchmark best practice in supporting mental health across the country's HE institutions. You can find out more about the project here.
In 2021, Glasgow Caledonian University were succesful in enrolling into the first cohort of Universities across the UK to participate in the launched University Mental Health Charter Programme.
Any questions can be directed to the Project Officer for Student Mental Health.
Glasgow Caledonian University and GCU Students' Association recognise it's important to support students throughout their studies and enable them to have outstanding student experience. As such, we're working in partnership to continue the development of our Student Mental Health Agreement, which is published annually, and was initially developed in 2017. You can view the Students' Association information on the Student Mental Health Agreement at their website.
The Student Mental Health Agreement has been presented at various national conferences, and is reviewed, developed, and signed by the executive lead in both the University and the Students’ Association for student wellbeing each academic year.
Some key outcomes from the creation of the agreement, is the Student Support Booklet, the re-introduction of the Scottish Mental Health First Aid Award, and partnership in promoting free mindfulness sessions for students.
You can read more about our student mental health agreements, and explore their developments through annual documentation and evaluation reports below.

Throughout 2019 and 2020, GCU were selected as one of four institutions to participate in national research with Think Positive about Student Mental Health at NUS Scotland, and BSV Associates on the wellbeing support available to students across Scotland. Information, alongside consultation of students across the sector were compiled into a report with outcomes and recommendations. The report will be made available on this webpage once it has been published.
