Equality & DiversityDignity & Respect
The University of Strathclyde acknowledges that students and staff bring different cultures, lifestyles, experience, ideas and knowledge to the learning, research and working environment.
We are committed to providing an environment where students, staff, visitors and contractors are treated with dignity and respect. Unacceptable behaviour has no place at the University. Any form of discrimination, harassment, victimisation or bullying will not be tolerated.
To emphasise this commitment, we have developed a policy on Dignity and Respect and a network of Dignity and Respect Advisers. Any person experiencing bullying or harassment can contact an adviser for confidential advice and support. In order to avoid any conflict of interest you are advised to contact an adviser external to your local area.
Report & Support
You may also report online any inappropriate behaviour (such as verbal or physical harassment, or other actions that make you feel unsafe, for example threatening posters, stickers or graffiti) so the University can provide you with appropriate support.
Students may also contact University Counselling Service and staff may also seek external counselling from Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
It is the responsibility of all students, staff, visitors and contractors to conduct and interact in a fair and respectful manner at all times.
We can all make a difference through leading by example, contributing ideas and suggestions. Please share these with the Equality and Diversity office:
