Harassment Advisor Network

There are approximately 370 harassment advisors within the University. There are also confidential advisors appointed within the colleges. RDM harassment advisors are listed on this page. If you would prefer to speak to someone outside of RDM you can arrange this by emailing harassment.line@admin.ox.ac.uk or calling on 01865 270760.

Mediation Service

The Mediation Service is available to all members of RDM staff and students who find themselves in conflict with another member of staff or student. The Mediators team are trained experts in helping people to communicate more effectively with each other. They will not judge, interrogate or tell people what to do.

Other help and support

The University Occupational Health Service will be able to advise on dealing with stress and provide access to counselling.

For students, the Student Counselling Service (run by the University) and the Student Advice Service (run by the Oxford University Student Union), are excellent sources of advice and support.

These online courses encourage people to think about bullying and harassment in the workplace and help people identify why certain behaviours are inappropriate, the damage caused by bullying and harassment. They also aims to inform people of their legal and moral responsibilities, the tools to recognise and put a stop to bullying and harassment, how to respond to inappropriate behaviour and the knowledge and skills necessary to work successfully as part of a diverse team.
