Respect at Edinburgh

The University has a zero tolerance stance towards any form of bullying and harassment. The hub has been created to bring together:  

  • information, guidance and support for sexual harassment 
  • other processes for raising and addressing concerns 
  • the support and training available to staff and students. 

Staff and Student Dignity and Respect Policies

Our Policy Framework

All ▪ We have introduced separate policies for staff and students. While support and reporting routes are tailored for each group, the same standards of expected behaviour apply to everyone in the University community. 

Please select the policy and/or guidance relevant to your role: 

Report + Support

Report + Support is a platform that gives students, staff and visitors a simple and informal way to raise concerns about bullying, harassment or discrimination.

If you or someone you know has experienced or witnessed any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination or gender-based violence, you can submit a 'named report' to get support or anonymously to help improve our University culture.

Sexual Harassment

All ▪ The University takes its duties to prevent sexual harassment very seriously and will continue to work hard to ensure that students and staff who experience sexual harassment are able to report and be supported.

Don't Cross The Line Campaign

“Don’t cross the line” is such an important awareness raising campaign to reduce all forms of bullying and harassment, behaviours which have no place in the University of Edinburgh. I support it wholeheartedly and would encourage you to become a Respect Champion.
