Bullying and Harassment

What is bullying and harassment and where to find support.

What is Bullying or Harassment?

Bullying and harassment can involve interactions between people face-to-face or in written form including via social media.

Any action or behaviour that could reasonably be expected to cause offence may be classed as bullying or harassment.

Support and Guidance

We sincerely hope that students will not experience bullying or harassment during their time studying with us.

However, there are resources available to support students in such circumstances to cope with and report unacceptable behaviour, including specific guidance for cases of sexual assault/harassment.

Full details of the guidance and support available to you are on the Respect at Edinburgh website.
