Harassment Advisors
University Policy on Harrassment and Bullying
- Dr Hannah Sullivan, hannah.sullivan@new.ox.ac.uk
- Dr David Dwan, david.dwan@ell.ox.ac.uk
The Faculty is committed to creating a happy and healthy working environment, where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. We do not tolerate any form of harassment or bullying.
The Harassment Advisors offer confidential support to all members of the Faculty. Seeking support from one of our Advisors is not the same as making a complaint – this is an informal opportunity to seek confidential advice. In some instances, this may be enough to resolve the issue. In other cases, should you decide to make a complaint, the Harassment Advisor can be a valuable source of support and guidance. Alternatively, if you do not feel comfortable talking to someone from within the Faculty, you can access the University’s anonymous Harassment Line.
