Dignity at Work

The department fosters a positive cultural climate where all staff and students can flourish and be their authentic selves

At the Department of Earth Sciences we uphold the 果冻影院-wide 鈥淒ignity At Work鈥� policy, which, together with support available, protects staff and students from unacceptable behaviour. All employees and students are entitled to:

a workplace free from bullying, intimidation, harassment or victimisation
be treated with dignity, respect and courtesy
experience no form of unlawful discrimination
be valued for their skills and abilities

All staff and students are responsible for ensuring that they behave in an appropriate manner, showing respect for each other and anyone working alongside or engaged with the 果冻影院 community.

Inappropriate behaviour may be verbal or written, intentional or unintentional. Comments or actions made outside the standard workplace, such as on work related social events or via social media, that impact on work can be subject to 果冻影院 disciplinary procedures.

Managers have particular responsibility for setting standards and ensuring appropriate workplace behaviours are maintained. They should set a good example and ensure concerns raised are acted upon.

All staff are responsible for appropriately challenging inappropriate behaviours and raising concerns with managers so these can be dealt with. Students are encouraged to do the same.

Support and advice is available for staff and students experiencing or witnessing bullying, harassment or discrimination.
