Tier 1 - Online
Tier 1: Online Dignity& Respect Training programme for all students, employees and others to ensure there is a common understanding of inappropriate behaviours, of everyone's responsibility to be active bystanders and to contribute to a culture of dignity and respect.
The online training for all employees is now available on Brightspace. More details and a communication campaign will be available in due course.
Tier 2 - Face to Face
Tier 2: Face-to-face dignity and respect training and awareness raising programme for key roles that have responsibilities, as outlined in the Bullying and Harassment policy and Sexual Misconduct policy, for supporting and assisting in the resolution of dignity and respect issues and promoting a culture of dignity and respect.
