Confide - Sources of Help
Confide: on campus harassment support network
The University has a Harassment Adviser and other harassment contacts who have training in dealing with incidents of harassment and bullying and contact details are given at the end of this leaflet. Confide consists of academic and non-academic staff from across the University who are available to talk to staff or students in confidence. They offer support, advice and assistance in seeking a satisfactory solution to the issues raised. Confide are willing to discuss any incidents or problems, no matter how serious or trivial they may seem. You may seek an informal, confidential interview with a member of Confide at any time. Such a meeting may, with your permission, lead to attempts being made to resolve the issue without drawing on the informal and formal action procedures outlined below. Following an informal meeting with a member of Confide, further action will not normally be taken without your expressed permission, (disclosures of child abuse for example do have to be reported to the relevant Authorities). You may wish to contact the relevant national body mandated to investigate harassment, such as the Commission for Racial Equality, the Disability Rights Commission or the Equal Opportunities Commission. Contacts for these and other organisations are listed at the end of this leaflet.
