Safeguarding, Conduct, Harassment and Sexual Misconduct

Safeguarding, Conduct, Harassment and Sexual Misconduct


The University of Wolverhampton is committed to ensuring that all students can study in a safe, respectful and supportive environment. 

This information outlines the University’s expectations and arrangements in relation to: 

  • Safeguarding – promoting the safety and welfare of members of the University community and responding to safeguarding concerns. 
  • Student conduct and behaviour – the standards of behaviour expected of students as members of the University community. 
  • Harassment and sexual misconduct – preventing and responding to harassment, sexual misconduct and other unacceptable behaviour. 
  • Reporting concerns and accessing support – how students can raise a concern, report an incident and access appropriate support. 

Students studying through a partner institution should also be aware of the local arrangements for safeguarding, reporting concerns and accessing support. Your partner institution should provide information about the relevant local contacts, reporting routes and support services as part of your induction. 

If you are studying outside the UK, the laws and requirements of the country in which you are studying may also apply. 

Where appropriate, concerns can also be raised through the University of Wolverhampton’s reporting and safeguarding arrangements.
