The University of Oxford is supporting Anti-Bullying Week, an annual UK-wide campaign which aims to raise awareness of bullying and to highlight ways of preventing and responding to it.

Anti-Bullying Week 2015

 

 

 

 

 

The University decided to focus its activities on responsible bystanders. A responsible bystander, in line with the University’s policy on harassment, will:

  • Treat others with dignity and respect.
  • Discourage any form of harassment by making it clear that such behaviour is unacceptable.
  • Support any member of the University who feels they have been subject to harassment.

Find out below how you can get involved.
