PERSONAL HARASSMENT

Queen Mary is committed to creating an environment for work and study where staff and students are treated with dignity and respect.  We have no place for bullying, harassment and hate. We recognise that these behaviours can take many forms.  Any allegation of harassment, hate crime, bullying or victimisation will be treated seriously, regardless of the seniority of those involved, and anyone found to have behaved unacceptably may be the subject of disciplinary action subject to the processes detailed in the relevant Queen Mary policies. 

All members of Queen Mary have a collective responsibility to: encourage a culture of dignity and respect; to treat others fairly, with courtesy and consideration; and to challenge inappropriate behaviour when it is safe to do so.

 The University has a comprehensive policy on harassment and recognises any type of behaviour perceived as harassment on grounds of sex, sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin, religion, political conviction, disability or age. Harassment of students is a disciplinary offence and is always treated very seriously.
