Isn't this a (publicised) code of conduct issue? Something like: 'You have the right to expect staff here to treat you in a equitable, respectful, polite and attentive manner. Accordingly, it is also expected your attitude and approach to members of staff (and other students) will be along the same lines. Failure to do so...'
Ensuring compliance would partly be a matter of having teaching departments and the Students' Union on board.

Subject: Calling FE folks - how do you deal with inappropriate language?
Greetings all
As part of a college-wide initiative, we have been asked to lead on promoting appropriate language within the learning environment (in other words: stop people swearing). Has anyone working in a general FE college dealt with something similar and be willing to share good practice? I am being encouraged to put up posters, which I am not happy about as they are pointless expect as a point of reference (and probably in this case also ridicule) but if you have any successful materials you can share I would be very grateful.
Many thanks. I hope the sun is shining on you like it is here on the Island.
