Speak Out
About
Speak Out is an online anonymous reporting tool developed by the Psychological Counsellors in Higher Education Ireland (PCHEI).
It is a mechanism for members of college communities to speak out about their experiences of bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, discrimination, hate crime, coercive behaviour/control, stalking, assault, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape, and to help direct those speaking out to find supports relevant to their experiences.
Speak Out is completely anonymous. There is no way of identifying or contacting anyone who uses the tool. Tailored information about specialist supports is provided to users. It is possible to report on behalf of yourself or someone else. The data collated through the tool is very valuable to institutions as it helps to inform and improve responses to issues such as sexual misconduct, bullying and discrimination.
MIC will be rolling this tool out in 2024.
