Birkbeck Principles of Dignity at Work & Study

Birkbeck is committed to providing the highest quality academic and work environment where all are welcomed, respected and treated in a consistent and non-discriminatory manner.  Harassment and bullying undermine the core values of the College, and can have a serious and negative effect on the health, confidence, morale and performance of those affected by it, and on the working, learning and living environment.

Bullying, harassment and victimisation behaviours will not be tolerated in the College environment, and may be addressed through the appropriate staff or student disciplinary procedure.  Some such behaviours may also be unlawful.

This document provides a more detailed description of the colleges expectations and guidance on how to address perceived breaches of dignity at work and study.
