The University has tripled the number of Dignity Advisers across our UK campuses to support students who have experienced or witnessed harassment, bullying or victimisation.
What are dignity advisers?
Dignity Advisers are trained members of staff who volunteer from a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines and roles to help facilitate and support resolution to protect staff and students against harassment, bullying and victimisation.
Expanding the network of Dignity Advisers is part of the University’s commitment to tackling harassment and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion as set out in the recently published EDI Strategic Delivery Plan.
“I am delighted that so many staff have volunteered to help support their colleagues and maintain our culture of respect. Every individual in our University community has a role to play in challenging harassment, bullying or victimisation and to promote a culture of wellbeing.”
