No Space for Hate
No Space for Hate is our commitment to challenge inappropriate behaviours and provide practical support to students who are victims, survivors or witnesses of hate or harassment.
Working together, DMU and De Montfort Students’ Union (DSU) have developed No Space for Hate, a new approach towards dealing with incidents of hate and harassment. This comprises of a new policy, website, anonymous reporting tool, a specialised service which outlines support and reporting options, specialist staff within Security and new mandatory training for staff involved in the disciplinary process.
No Space for Hate is part of our commitment to challenge inappropriate behaviours and provide practical support to students who are victims or witnesses of hate or harassment.
DMU is a diverse institution, and we want to continue to create an inclusive and respectful environment for all students and staff.

Anonymous reporting
We understand not everyone will want to formally report their experiences which is why we have developed this anonymous form. The university will not be able to investigate any reports received via this form, however you telling us about what has happened helps us monitor the prevalence and type of issues DMU students are experiencing in order that we can make better use of resources available and ensure that our training programmes and initiatives are being targeted to the appropriate areas.
