Social safety at UU

Utrecht University aims to provide a pleasant and safe study and working environment for all students and staff. We treat each other with respect. Social safety is an issue that requires ongoing attention from all of us. If we work together to create a socially safe UU, we can prevent the continuation and normalisation of inappropriate behaviour.
