Code of Practice on Unacceptable Behaviour

Key Information: This Code sets out the University’s approach to dealing with behaviour it deems unacceptable.  All students and staff, their representatives, and members of the public with whom the University communicates, are covered by this Code, including those engaged with one or more of the University’s other codes and procedures (e.g. Discipline, Complaints, Appeals or Fitness to Practise).

For whom: All students and staff.

Summary: Incidents of unacceptable behaviour are relatively infrequent, but where staff, students, or the work of the University are adversely affected, appropriate and relevant action will be taken. The Code defines unacceptable behaviour under the headings:

• Aggressive / abusive behaviour.
• Unreasonable demands and undue persistence.
• Disruptive behaviour.

The Code sets out the appropriate responses to unacceptable behaviour, including the retention of records.
