Report bullying, harassment or discrimination online and get support

02 Mar 2015

The We Get It campaign is challenging all forms of bullying, harassment and discrimination

The zero tolerance approach to bullying and harassment at the University is one of the actions of the Behaviours group formed in response to feedback from the Staff Survey 2013. The University doesn't tolerate any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination or victimisation and you shouldn't either. Whether you’re a member of staff or a student, you have a responsibility for ending such  behaviiour in our community.

The We Get it campaign asks you to:

Think

One person's "harmless banter" could be deeply offensive and have a negative impact on the work and lives of others. No one should have to feel uncomfortable for the sake of a joke. Consider and respect other people's views and feelings so that we can all work, study, and live in an inclusive and supportive environment.

Talk

Talk about where you draw the line and what you mean by bullying, harassment and discrimination.

If you think you or someone you know is being treated badly, talk to someone about it and, if you feel safe to do so, challenge it. Sometimes just explaining to someone how it makes you feel and asking them to stop is enough.

Report and Support

Use the new online Report and Support tool to report bullying, harassment, or discrimination. If you like, your report can be passed to a trained advisor, who can get you the right advice and support. You can also report something anonymously.

In this video, the President, members of staff and students give their backing to the campaign and urge you to Think, Talk and Report and Get Support:
