Unacceptable behaviour

We aim to ensure that our faculty is entirely free from unacceptable behaviour such as racism, bullying, sexual harassment, intimidation, discrimination, exclusion and violence. We are here to help you if you experience or witness such unacceptable behaviour. To assist you, please lodge your complaint to the Diversity & Inclusion contact person (see above) or directly to one of the confidential counsellors for unacceptable behaviour. Anything you say to the contact person or the confidential counsellor is treated strictly confidentially. They will not take action without your consent.

Complaints Committee for Unacceptable Behaviour

If the behaviour is such that you want to submit a formal complaint, the confidential counsellor can help you with this. Please lodge this formal complaint to the Complaints Committee for Unacceptable Behaviour. The Complaints Committee, secretary and secretariat are also bound by a duty of confidentiality, and all information will be treated with the strictest of confidence.
