Please contact us as soon as you start to think that you may be experiencing bullying or harassment.

If anyone is treating you poorly, immediately start to keep a diary of their behaviour.

Note down:

• Dates/times
• Circumstances/location
• What exactly was said or took place?
• How it made you feel
• Any witnesses? If it was during a MS Teams or Zoom meeting – see if you can obtain the a recording and/or transcript of the meeting

Bullying behaviour is legally considered to be harassment if it’s related to:

• age
• sex
• disability
• gender reassignment
• marriage and civil partnership
• pregnancy and maternity
• race
• religion or belief
• sexual orientation

The University’s Dignity at Work and Study Policy lists some examples of unacceptable behaviour.
