Bullying and Harassment

The Humanities Division seeks to provide a positive and enriching environment for all staff and students, one in which individuals are respected regardless of their background. Complaints of bullying and harassment are taken seriously in faculties, in the Division and in the institution as a whole. These pages provide some guidance if you feel that you, a friend, or a colleague, have experienced bullying or harassment while at the University.

As a Division, we are fully supportive of the University's Policy and Procedure on Harassment, and over 20 staff in the Division are trained harassment advisors. If you have experienced bullying or harassment, a first step might be to contact one of the Advisors below. Advisors are trained to provide advice for both staff and students, and are happy to speak with individuals from any faculty. Students are also encouraged to contact the Student Welfare and Support Service for support.
