We believe bullying and harassment are never OK.
Bullying and harassment are contrary to the Equality Act 2010 and the University's Inclusion and Respectful Behaviour Policy.
Bullying: Typically, bullying is unacceptable behaviour, usually repeated over time, which causes intimidation, fear or humiliation and that involves a real or perceived power imbalance (power imbalances could be about social or group power, power due to role, physical strength, access to embarrassing information).
Harassment: Harassment is when someone intentionally or unintentionally violates a person’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, which interferes with an individual’s learning, working or social environment.
