A new cohort of dignity advisors from a variety of departments, has joined our growing network of support to staff and students who experience bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct.

Dignity advisors are a first point of contact for staff and students who may be experiencing bullying, harassment, or sexual misconduct. Advisors are independent from °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Human Resources and Student Services. They are trained to provide staff and students with a suite of options available to them – including informal and formal resolutions, and internal and external support.

Staff or students can approach a dignity advisor, either directly or through , to understand the options available to them if they have experienced any form of bullying, harassment or sexual misconduct. More information on our current dignity advisors can be found on the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ dignity advisors webpage.

Dignity advisors can offer confidentially, information on issues relating to °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s Prevention of harassment, bullying and sexual misconduct policy, listen non-judgementally, help you to clarify your thoughts about what is happening, and explore various informal and formal procedures as well as support-services that may be available. Dignity advisors, however, cannot act as an advocate or make decisions on whether bullying, harassment or sexual misconduct has taken place.  They also have a duty of care to escalate the matter if there is an immediate risk of harm to yourself or others.
