Bullying and Harassment (Rules K1–K2)

The University is committed to creating and maintaining a safe, welcoming and inclusive community that nurtures a culture in which we treat one another with courtesy and professionalism, even while robustly challenging each other’s views and opinions. There is no place for bullying, harassment, discrimination, sexual misconduct or victimisation in our community and each of us is responsible for the way we interact with and treat others. By fostering and maintaining a culture of courtesy and professionalism in the workplace, we strengthen academic freedom and freedom of thought and expression by ensuring that all voices can be heard clearly and all views discussed responsibly.

The Dignity at Work policy (2023 ed.):

  • sets out the standards of behaviour expected from University employees and workers to ensure a common understanding of how everyone should behave towards one another
  • ensures that staff are able to disclose inappropriate behaviour if it does occur and are supported in the process of resolving it
  • promotes the early resolution of inappropriate behaviour wherever possible and appropriate, to prevent the psychological, health, and work related problems such behaviour can cause
  • refers to what actions can be taken through the informal and formal resolution processes set out in the University’s grievance and disciplinary policies if this Policy’s principles are not observed.
