Student Conduct Office

These webpages provide a comprehensive single source of information for students and staff on Harassment and Sexual Misconduct. They provide information on how the University will manage any incidents of harassment and sexual misconduct, outline reporting processes, and summarise the support and training available.

The work of the Student Conduct Office covers student complaints, student discipline, bullying and harassment, allegations of student misconduct, and sexual misconduct and violence. Our Office works closely with Departments and Colleges across the University to offer advice on cases within our remit. Our Office develops policies, manages open cases, and offers staff training for matters relating to all elements of discipline, misconduct and student complaints.
