Dignity and Respect Policy

The College strives to create an environment that is supportive and conducive to work and study. The College promotes and is committed to supporting a collegiate environment for its staff, students and other community members which is free from discrimination, bullying, harassment and sexual harassment.

The College dignity and respect policy, developed in partnership with the College group of trade unions, has a strong preventative focus and highlights that staff and students have a duty to maintain an environment in which the dignity of everyone is respected.

The policy includes practical advice on tackling communication breakdowns or inter-personal disputes. The policy also sets out a framework for complaint resolution using informal and formal procedures and through the use of mediation. The policy also contains useful information on support sources for all parties to a complaint.
