How to report inappropriate behaviour

If you are the subject of an allegation of inappropriate behaviour

If you are the subject of an accusation you will be treated fairly as an accusation is not proof of guilt. You may be invited to discuss the allegation and present your version of events along with any mitigating evidence. Please review our documentation on subject of an allegation .

If you are called as a witness of inappropriate behaviour

If you are identified as a witness by either the person(s) raising the allegation of misconduct or by the person(s) accused of misconduct you may be requested to give your version of events. Please review our documentation on being called as a witness .

Support during the discipline process

The Advice Centre can offer independent advice and support to students subject of a disciplinary allegation, considering submitting an allegation or called as a witness to a case.

The Mediation Service

There are many situations in which a student may find mediation useful and many issues and misunderstandings can often be quickly and confidentially resolved via mediation. For example if you feel bullied, harassed or intimidated or encounter dispute or interpersonal conflict. The Mediation Service can provide informal non-committal information. You can find more information on the Student Mediation Sharepoint site.
