This department endeavours to provide an environment of safety, respect and dignity, in line with the university’s Ethical Behaviour Policy. The Policy is about how we interact as members of the University Community so that it is a safe, and fulfilling environment for everyone. It asks us to be courteous, honest, fair, timely and ethical, to respect the living and working environments of others, to act without discrimination and to use authority appropriately. Specific behaviours are identified as being unacceptable – personal harassment, bullying, sexual harassment, racial harassment, abuse of supervisory authority, discrimination and an undisclosed or unmanaged conflict of interest.
The HOD is always available to staff and students who might wish to discuss these issues, and their impact on individuals, whether minor or major. Some people, however, may prefer to seek confidential advice from other staff members.
