Confidential Advisor for Inappropriate Behaviour

(Former) students and (former) employees can contact the confidential advisors for inappropriate behaviour for advice and support. The confidential advisor for inappropriate behaviour will be on your side when you make contact and can help you:

• Think about the possibilities;
• Guide you in filing a formal complaint if applicable;
• Decide whether you need further aftercare or support from experts.

Any follow-up actions will only be taken with your consent and the information provided will always be treated confidentially. You can directly contact one of the confidentional advisors if you would prefer to speak to a specific person. Alternatively, you can send an email to the general email address that can be found below.

If you feel that your personal integrity has been violated by someone connected to the UU, you can file a complaint with the Interpersonal Integrity Committee. They will then investigate your complaint. The Interpersonal Integrity Committee is neutral and independent.

You can also contact the committee for an exploratory, informative talk about your situation, enquire about how the committee works and what you can expect from the complaints procedure. If, during the discussion, it appears that your question belongs to a different person or department, you will be referred to them (e.g. manager, confidential advisor, staff welfare service, ombudsperson, external expert, etc.).

The Committee for Interpersonal Integrity consists of nine members. An external chairperson, three members from outside UU with professional knowledge and expertise of specific types of violations, three members from within UU with knowledge of the organisation, and two student members.
