Students and staff can approach the confidential advisers if they are concerned about undesirable behaviour by teachers, students or staff. This means behaviour that you experience as improper, inappropriate, hurtful or threatening. Such as bullying, intimidation, gossip, sexual harassment, aggression, violence and discrimination, but also other forms of abuse, such as corruption or fraud.
The starting points of the confidential advisers are:
- Every conversation is confidential.
- No action will ever be taken without your permission.
- We will look for solutions together, but you decide and take the next step.
Protocol for confidential advisers
To be clear:
> For reports or complaints about inappropriate behaviour that the parties involved are unable to resolve together, an employee can contact the confidential advisers and, if necessary, the complaints committee for inappropriate behaviour.
> Any employee with a permanent or temporary employment contract or a contract for services can contact the Ombuds Officer.
