Definitions

Harassment

Harassment is where one person engages in unwanted and unwarranted behaviour which has the purpose or effect of:

a. violating another person’s dignity, (every person has an innate right to be valued, respected and to be treated in a morally correct way) or;

b. creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment related to, one or more of the following protected characteristics:

  • age

  • disability

  • gender reassignment 

  • race

  • religion or belief

  • sex

  • sexual orientation

A person does not need to have clearly stated at the time that the behaviour was unwanted for it to be harassment.

Sexual Misconduct

Sexual Misconduct refers to a broad range of unwelcome behaviours of a sexual nature.

This can include:

  • Sexual harassment, such as unwelcome sexual advances, comments, jokes or gestures.

  • Coercion or manipulation in sexual contexts.

  • Sharing sexual images or messages without consent.

  • Stalking or persistent unwanted attention.
