Safety isn’t always about strangers or being out in public. Sometimes, the behaviour that makes us feel unsafe comes from someone we know, a partner, friend, housemate, or someone in a position of power 📲

Red flags include 🚩: 
Checking your phone or tracking your location without your agreement. Trying to control who you see or where you go. 
Pressuring you into things you’re not comfortable with. 
Repeated unwanted messages, intimidation or threats.

These behaviours aren’t okay. You have the right to set boundaries, make your own choices and feel safe in your relationships.   You don’t have to be sure that it’s abuse to ask for help, and you don’t have to deal with it alone.   If you’re worried about your own situation, or someone else’s, speak to someone you trust or reach out to the university’s specialist wellbeing team for support and to explore your options! go to reportandsupport.kent.ac.uk.
