Paul - we have a Harassment & Bullying Policy for staff and students with informal and formal procedures and also a Harassment Contacts Scheme. We are currently reviewing the procedures and a new policy is being drafted. The policy links to various other ones including Disciplinary, Grievance, Student Regulations, Student Complaints etc If a member of staff feels that their complaint has not been properly investigated they can initiate the relevant stage of the Grievance Procedures. best wishes Penny ________________________________ From: HE Administrators equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul Browne Sent: 06 October 2008 12:18 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Harassment investigations Good afternoon. We are reviewing our harassment procedures. Can colleagues please advise under which procedure they investigate complaints of harassment? Do you have separate policies for harassment or are complaints investigated under normal grievance procedures? Many thanks. Paul Browne Equal Opportunities Manager Queen's University Belfast
