Social safety is fundamental for everyone working at, studying at, or visiting UT. Respect, integrity, honesty, and consideration for others are expected on our campus and within our organisation. Together we must ensure our university continues to be a safe place. Being confronted with an unsafe situation or inappropriate behavior can have a huge impact. If you feel unsafe, or mistreated or if you have witnessed an unsafe situation, please inform people around you and try to talk about it. Various support professionals are here to help you whenever you need it, no matter what. Our skilled and committed professionals are always there for you to listen, talk things through, and act. Decisively, respectfully, and with an open mind.
