No one should accept or tolerate unacceptable behaviour. We are committed to being a community that is welcoming and respectful and ask you to report any instances of unacceptable behaviour that you have experienced, witnessed or are aware of.
If you experience, witness or are aware of unacceptable behaviour involving any person connected with your work, study or time at Northumbria, you are strongly encouraged to seek support as early as possible and report it. This can help you to deal with the immediate situation and think through your options and next steps.
