Codes of conduct

The School of Physics expects all of our staff, students, and visitors to abide by our Code of Conduct. This document compliments University College Cork's Code of Conduct, Duty of Respect and Right to Dignity at Work policy, and the Gender Identity and Expression policy.

Reporting

In the case that a student/member of staff has experienced any form of bullying, harassment or sexual harassment, University College Cork has established supports and procedures for reporting and resolving these incidents. The exact details can be found on pages 10-20 of the Duty of Respect and Right to Dignity at Work document published by University College Cork.

The policies and procedures for reporting any grievances or whistle blowing are detailed here:
Grievance policy for staff.
