1. This Procedure is designed to deal with student reports of harassment by other students that arise in a University context. This covers behaviour on University or college premises, or in the course of University activity within or outside Oxford whether academic, sporting, social, cultural, or other. Harassing behaviours can take a variety of forms as defined in the Harassment Policy. Reports of harassment against students which arise purely within the college environment may be dealt with under appropriate college procedures, while reflecting the principles of the University Harassment Policy. Reports of harassment brought by students against University staff will be dealt with under the staff Procedure.

2.  If a member of staff wishes to make a report of harassment against a student, this will normally be dealt with through the University Student Disciplinary Procedure: Non-Academic Misconduct. In the first instance, the member of staff should seek support and guidance from their head of department or line manager.

3.  Student Welfare and Support Services can provide support to students, and to staff requiring advice on student cases. Where the harassment is of a sexual nature, students can contact the Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service. All reports made to support services will be recorded in accordance with the University’s Data Protection Policy[1].

1. In serious cases, it is likely to be appropriate to proceed directly to stages 2 and 3 of this Procedure.
