SUM4Products Code of Conduct

The SUM4Products NetworkPlus and partner universities are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community for all. We expect cooperation and support from all staff, students, and visitors to help ensure an environment where everyone is treated fairly and where diversity is valued.

All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold our commitment to equality by:

• treating students, staff, and visitors with dignity and respect;​

• not engaging in, colluding in, or encouraging behaviour that constitutes unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act;​

• supporting activities to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations as required under the Equality Act.​

Everyone in our community have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We believe all forms of harassment, bullying, and discrimination are unacceptable. This includes but is not limited to:

• insults, name-calling, and offensive language and gestures;

• inappropriate jokes;

• ridiculing and undermining behaviour;

• inappropriate or unnecessary physical contact​;

• physical assault or threats of physical assault;

• intimidating, coercive, or threatening actions and behaviour;

• unwelcome sexual advances.
