DR&C Service
The Dignity, Respect & Consent (DR&C) Service supports Staff, Students, and Others in matters relating to dignity, respect, and consent in Trinity College Dublin.
The DR&C Service provides information about the Dignity & Respect and Sexual Misconduct policies and the related processes, signposting of internal and external supports, and training for the University community. The Service provides this support to Staff, Students and Others across all areas of bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct.
The DR&C Service opened in April 2024, following the launch of the updated Dignity & Respect policy, and the new Sexual Misconduct policy.
The service integrates national and international best practice in responding to bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct. The Service is aligned to and guided by the University, Human Resources (HR), and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI), the Consent Framework Implementation Oversight Group (CFIOG) Action Plan, and the Higher Education Authority (HEA).
You can contact the DR&C Service for information about the Dignity & Respect and Sexual Misconduct policies, options to resolve the matter(s) and be signposted to additional supports and services.
