The everyday interactions we have with colleagues within our areas and across campus, must be based on a shared understanding of the principles of Dignity and Respect, and of our responsibilities to ensure that they apply to everyone on campus. We all need to understand what these responsibilities are and the supports and reporting procedures available. To ensure this, all UL staff are required to complete a two part Dignity and Respect training, part one of which is the Dignity and Respect eLearning module.
