“We have a zero tolerance policy of bullying and harassment, which are counter to our values in the Department. If you have experienced and/or witnessed bullying and harassment in our Department, then please make every effort to bring this to my attention. As Head of Department, my duty is to deal with these instances promptly and decisively.” - Professor Omar Matar, Head of Department

Reporting incidents
Staff and students can also report bullying and harassment through the College Report + Support tool. This enables both anonymous disclosure and requests for contact as well as a number of staff and student support links.
Imperial College also has a network of trained Staff Supporters who can provide confidential support and advice to Imperial staff. They can signpost to other College services when staff do not know who to reach out to.
