At the University of Worcester we are committed to creating an environment free from discrimination, bullying, harassment or victimisation, where all members of our community are treated with respect and dignity.  

We aim to create a culture of dignity and inclusivity within our community, providing a working and learning environment, where all members are valued for their contribution and individuality.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Worcester values and celebrates the diversity of all its students and staff, and its wider community.

Through our policies and practices we work to ensure that all are welcome in our community and have an equal opportunity to succeed regardless of any aspect of their identity, such as age, disability, gender (including gender reassignment, marital status, pregnancy and maternity), ethnicity (including race, colour or nationality), religion or belief (including non-belief), sexual orientation or social-economic background

 

We are committed to developing a culture in which individuals are accorded dignity, courtesy and respect, and unacceptable behaviour is identified and dealt with quickly, fairly and sensitively. This policy on harassment and bullying describes the measures and procedures that are in place to ensure that this happens.
