Zero Tolerance to Bullying, Harassment and Victimisation
The Early Cancer Institute regard all forms of bullying, harassment and victimisation as unacceptable. It is the responsibility of each member of the Institute, both staff and students, to assist in promoting an environment of mutual respect and consideration.
Bullying is any behaviour which makes someone feel intimidated, humiliated or offended, whether or not it is intended to do so.
Harassment is unwanted conduct that violates another person’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment and may be related to: sex or gender, age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity or other grounds, and is illegal. In particular, sexual harassment includes any unwanted sexual comments or jokes as well as unwanted physical contact.
Victimisation is the hostile treatment of someone who has made a complaint about discrimination or has helped someone who has been the victim of discrimination.
