“We have a zero tolerance policy of bullying and harassment, which are counter to our values in the Department. If you have experienced and/or witnessed bullying and harassment in our Department, then please make every effort to bring this to my attention. As Head of Department, my duty is to deal with these instances promptly and decisively.” - Professor Omar Matar, Head of Department

Getting support if you're a staff member or student 

If you're experiencing bullying and harrassment in the Department we encourage you to report it and seek help as soon as possible. The wellbeing of our staff and students is our top priority and we take all complaints seriously. 

Students  

If you are a student we encourage you to speak to your: 

• Personal Tutor 
• Senior Tutor 
• Student Wellbeing Advisor 
• Course administrator 
• Imperial Report + Support

You can also get advice through Imperial College London Student Support Zone or via the Students' Union. 

Staff 

If you are a staff member (including Academic, Professional, Postdoctoral and Technical) we encourage you to raise any issues with your: 

• Line Manager 
• Head of Department 
• A trusted colleague 
• Engineering HR support, via hrstaffhub@imperial.ac.uk 
• Imperial Report + Support

Reporting incidents 

Staff and students can also report bullying and harassment through the College Report + Support tool. This enables both anonymous disclosure and requests for contact as well as a number of staff and student support links. 

Imperial College also has a network of trained Staff Supporters who can provide confidential support and advice to Imperial staff. They can signpost to other College services when staff do not know who to reach out to.
