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:

• Member of the Human Resources Business Manager or Advisor.
• Dignity@Work contact.
• Member of the Mediation Service.
• Steering Group member of a staff Diversity Networks.
