We are deeply shocked and saddened by the recent attack at a synagogue in Manchester on 2 October.

Our thoughts are with everyone directly affected, with Jewish students and staff in our community, and with all those who may be feeling distressed by this event.

Hallam is proud to be a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community. We stand firmly against all forms of racism and hate, and against any form of unlawful discrimination or harassment.

Please be kind, compassionate, and supportive to one another. If you witness or experience any form of harassment or discrimination, whether on campus or elsewhere, we encourage you to use the Report and Support service.
