You will not be under any expectation or obligation to make a formal report at any time, this is your decision.
Please note that if you provide a name/details about a staff member or student in relation to serious misconduct, senior staff may need to take action to manage risk even if you don’t want them to, although it is rare that the University acts against a reporting person's wishes.
If you are unsure whether you want the university to take action, do not share identifying details with the university (you are still able to share this information with an external support agency or the police).
