Everyone has the right to feel safe and supported at work or study.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to inappropriate sexual behaviour (which may include, but is not limited to, violence, grooming, misconduct and harassment). These activities are against the law, we will take reports seriously, and support is available for anyone experiencing them.
However, this policy is not just about what happens once an incident occurs. It’s also about the important role we can all play in stopping it from happening in the first place.
You must familiarise yourself with our Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Harassment policy as all staff and students are expected to comply with it.
You should also read the accompanying procedure and guidance.
Together these documents outline our expectations, your responsibilities, and our procedures for dealing with complaints. They also contain definitions of the terms discussed.
