    Dignity at work

    The University is committed to supporting, developing and promoting equality and diversity in all of its practices and activities. We aim to establish an inclusive culture, free from discrimination and based on the values of dignity, courtesy and respect. We recognise the right of every person to be treated in accordance with these values.

    As such, harassment, bullying and victimisation are unacceptable forms of behaviour and will not be tolerated.
