Emergency help
If you feel you are still at risk or think that others may be at risk
Exeter (Streatham Campus):
- Call estate patrol on 01392 723999 or if close, go to the 24 hr Security service at Northcote House.
Cornwall (Penryn Campus):
- Call FX Plus via their 24/7 Emergency Line on 01326 254444.
- You can also send them an emergency alert when you download the Safezone App.
- Glasney Lodge residents only: The FX Plus emergency line is 01326 253503.
Off campus:
- Call the police immediately on 999.
Do you require urgent medical help?
- Call for an ambulance - 999
- If you do not require emergency treatment, it is best not to call an ambulance. You may decide to go to the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) later or go to A&E by taxi. The SARC can help by providing crisis workers as support for victims, information and support for reporting and forensic medical facilities and examination.
- You can contact the Devon and Cornwall Sexual Assault Referral Centres helpline via 0300 303 4626. This covers all centres across Devon and Cornwall.
If you are not at further risk...
- Find somewhere safe and warm as you may be in shock. If you can, phone a friend to come to you. If you don't want to call a friend, you can contact the following helplines:
- Samaritans can be contacted 24 hours a day. You can reach the national number by calling 116 123.
- Exeter students: Exeter Student Nightline can be contacted from 8pm to 8am during term-time and is run by students, for students. You can find the number on the back of your student card. There is also an instant messaging service and skype. To access these services, please visit https://exeter.nightline.ac.uk/.
- Penryn students: The Campus Safety and Support team are available for students, staff and visitors 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. They’re available as a point of contact for welfare-related issues outside normal working hours for students. You can contact them on 01326 255875 or in an emergency (or if you need First Aid) call 01326 254444.
- It may be difficult but try not to drink, eat, wash, smoke, brush your teeth, urinate or change your clothes until you decide what you'd like to do next. This is vital as if you do any of these, the evidence may be lost. You can get evidence recorded at the SARC while you decide if you'd like to report or not.
- Keep any used condom or bedding in a clean plastic bag as it will help preserve the evidence.
