Equality and Diversity

Harassment Adviser Network

The University is firmly opposed to any form of victimisation, bullying or harassment involving any of its staff or students.

Bullying or intimidation is offensive behaviour that humiliates or undermines an individual or a group. Such behaviour can be vindictive, cruel or malicious and may be repetitive.

If you believe you are the victim of behaviour of this kind please visit one of the following advice pages for staff and students where you can find details of how to contact our harassment advisers and other support networks.

A network of harassment advisers is available to help all staff and students who feel they may have been bullied, or have themselves been accused of bullying. While the advisers can't directly advise you what to do, they can inform you of your options and offer support. The decision on what to do is always yours.

All discussions with a harassment adviser are confidential, and brief records of their discussions will be recorded purely for statistical purposes. This information is anonymous and will be held in complete confidence.

If you think you may like to volunteer as a harassment adviser please read the role profile (.doc) for more information. To apply please complete an application form (.doc) and send it to Alexandra Muir-Mackenzie.

If you have any questions about the Harassment Adviser Network, would like more information on what the role involves, or to find out when the next training sessions are scheduled for please contact us.
