If you think you or someone you know has been discriminated against there is a variety of support options available.
Internal:
- Report + Support: Staff can disclose how they have been affected by discrimination using the University’s Report and Support system. You can choose to do this anonymously, request support from an advisor or make a referral for someone else. If you choose to talk to an advisor, they will be able to talk through the reporting options and support available to you, in confidence.
- Vivup (Employee Assistance Programme): As a staff member you can access free information, advice and confidential support through the university’s new Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which is now provided by Vivup. Whether you’re facing problems at work or at home, you can access impartial, confidential support and advice for your mental health and wellbeing for a range of different issues. The service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, meaning you can get support whenever you need it. It’s completely confidential, so you can access the support you need without having to worry that others at the university will know. To find out more and access support and resources, visit the Vivup EAP webpage.
