We value and expect a high standard of conduct from all ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ students, staff, visiting scholars and guests.
ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is committed to providing a welcoming community in which all members feel respected, safe and supported, and in which our students can thrive and grow academically and personally.
We welcome the increasing recognition in our society of the issue of sexual harassment, sexual violence and antisocial behaviours. These behaviours are unacceptable and have no place at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½.
As a residential and academic community, we set a high standard of excellence for both students and staff. Trinity has a zero-tolerance approach to behaviour that demeans, harasses, discriminates, exploits or results in assault. ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ has a prompt, appropriate and rigorous institutional approach to antisocial behaviour which includes:
- clear, accessible and anonymous referral pathways for reporting incidents, and robust policies and procedures to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct, harassment or antisocial behaviour
- code of conduct training for all students
- mandatory training in sexual consent and bystander intervention for all Residential College students
- enforcement of the student code of conduct, which clearly sets out the standards of expected behaviour and specifies a range of responses, up to and including permanent exclusion from Trinity College and/or referral to the police.
In the situation where transgression of a code of conduct occurs, the College responds promptly to ensure the wellbeing and safety of those involved by providing pastoral care and support.
At Trinity, we encourage our students, staff, visiting scholars and guests to be thoughtful and respectful citizens. We regularly review our practices and actively seek input from students, staff and internal and external experts to ensure that Trinity continues to follow current best practice in this area.
