Third-Party Harassment
The law protecting staff from harassment has been extended to cover situations where a member of staff is harassed by someone who is not an employee of the University because of his/her membership of a relevant protected group. The relevant protected groups are Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Race, Religion or Belief, Sex and Sexual Orientation.
Examples of third parties include a contractor, a member of College staff who is not a University employee and possibly a student.
If you need advice about harassment you can speak to a:
