Staff update
24 October 2019

Harassment, abuse, bullying, violence and discrimination have no place at our University.
We’re working hard to progress inclusion, tolerance and diversity. To make it easier for you to report and gain access to support about harassment, abuse, bullying, sexual violence and discrimination of any kind, we have a new online platform called on Report + Support. It's open to all staff and students.
An easier way to report
Let's talk about consent and sexual harassment

We're working with The Consent Collective, a not-for-profit which seeks to help organisations talk about consent and sexual harassment. To kick start our work we are hosting two events open to all staff and students in November: Being part of change. Sexual harassment on campus on 12 November, and #MeToo and you. Sexual harassment and your future career on 13 November.

Free events: Book your place now
