Trinity's Dignity & Respect Policy

Executive Summary

The University promotes, and is committed to supporting, a collegiate environment for its staff, students and other community members, which is free from discrimination on any of the nine equality grounds (gender, religion, age, civil status, family status, disability, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, membership of the Traveller community), bullying, sexual harassment and other forms of harassment.

All members of the University are expected to work to develop and maintain a high degree of respect and civility in our diverse community and to participate in creating a positive environment. This does not affect academic freedom, the values of free open enquiry and discussion of ideas, or humour.

This policy sets out a framework for the resolution of any dignity and respect matters that may arise from time to time and details the sources of help available to staff and students. The University promotes and encourages the resolution of dignity and respect complaints through informal means in so far as possible.

Options for Resolving Complaints

The Dignity & Respect Policy outlines multiple options for resolving complaints - please read and consider these options if you have been victim of any breaches of the Dignity & Respect Policy. The full policy is available here (opens as a PDF): Dignity and Respect Policy (tcd.ie)

Reporting Anonymously

As a member of the Trinity community, you have the right to study or work in an environment that is free from bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct. Speak Out provides the opportunity for you to make the University aware of incidents that you have either experienced or witnessed by reporting them anonymously. While a lot of the information and publicity of the Speak Out tool relates to sexual misconduct, this tool is for reporting any incidents which breach Trinity's Dignity & Respect Policy (opens as a PDF).

Please note that Speak Out is an anonymous reporting tool which will direct you to the available supports and will provide information relating to a range of options that can assist you in dealing with incidents of bullying, harassment, racism, and/or sexual misconduct nature.
