Online Harassment and Hate Crime in HEIs – report from FOI
By Professor Andy Phippen and Professor Emma Bond (January 2020)
In this report Profs Emma Bond and Andy Phippen explore university’s approach to supporting students who might be victims on online abuse, looking at issues such as policies, the recording of incidents, routes for support and training. Using Freedom of Information requests to explore the sector, the report shows a worrying picture of institutions who have little idea how to address online abuse (and in some cases do not see it as their concern), a failure to define policy to support practice, and demonstrates a sector wide lack of staff training.
Higher Education Online Safeguarding Self-Review Took 2019
By Professor Emma Bond and Professor Andy Phippen
The Digital Civility project at the University of Suffolk is an innovative initiative that received funding through the HEFCE Catalyst fund. The University aims to increase digital civility, improve the online safety of students in relation to online abuse, harassment, and hate crime over the coming year, with the support of the University of Suffolk Student Union, Student Services and Suffolk Institute for Social and Economic Research.
Safeguarding Students in Higher Education
Over the year 2017/2018, the university provided and promoted various educational materials, media campaigns, workshops and seminars on several aspects of online risk, such as indecent images and revenge pornography, devised and led by experts in the field. It is envisaged that adopting a whole university and community-led approach, as well as identifying ‘what works’ for our students, should enable a substantial improvement in student digital safety and wellbeing.
In addition to the Blurring Boundaries and Virtual Violence conferences, consisting of workshops and talks from various experts within the field of online safeguarding, we have held training workshops and seminars for both staff and students. These include responding to disclosures of online sexual abuse and reporting and removing indecent images online. Furthermore, discussion groups as well as awareness raising materials and educational resources have and will continue to be employed across the campus, the VLE and social media.

This evaluation has presented an analysis of the first 13 months of activity for the Revenge Pornography Helpline. At the time of the evaluation (February – March, 2016) the Revenge Pornography Helpline had offered individualised support and advice and provided practical help in trying to get online images and videos removed from websites and a variety of social media.

Principal Investigators: Professor Emma Bond and Katie Tyrrell
This evaluation has presented an analysis of 12 months of activity for the Revenge Pornography Helpline from April 2017-March 2018. The quantitative and qualitative data reflects a highly successful service in providing specialist advice, signposting and legal support in removing online content. The combination of practical and emotional support ensures a holistic and individualistic service which meets the needs of victims of image-based sexual abuse.

Violence against Women and Girls Online: Amnesty International
Principal Investigators: Katie Tyrrell and Azmina Dhrodia (Amnesty International)
Working alongside Amnesty International researchers, focus groups with young female students within college and university were conducted to investigate experiences of gender-based violence online. Findings indicate diverse use of social media platforms across participants with unwanted contact, harassment and bullying online featuring, either through personal or indirect experience via friends and family.
