“Where do you draw the line?” workshop

Training available to address bullying and harassment in the University.

‘Where do you draw the line?’ is a 2-hour face-to-face workshop that offers departments the opportunity to learn about the factors that can create and sustain a work environment in which harassment and bullying occur, and empower participants to work collaboratively to address concerns.

Designed for delivery to groups of 30 participants of mixed seniority from the same department or ‘microclimate’, the purpose of the training is to:

• define bullying and harassment and the forms it can take;

• facilitate group discussions about the behaviours participants encounter and seek to reach agreement about what is acceptable;

• provide a framework for challenging unacceptable behaviour;

• outline the support that is available;

• facilitate discussions about what the department can do to promote a positive culture.

The training is available to all University Schools and Professional Services departments, with delivery provided by an external facilitator.
