This edition spotlights the Careers Service: 

🦁 Your behaviour matters

When you’re working — whether that’s on a placement, internship or in a part-time role — you’re expected to treat others with respect and behave professionally. 

This means respecting boundaries, being mindful of how your words and actions affect others, and helping to create a safe and positive environment for everyone.

Sexual harassment and misconduct, including any unwanted or unconsented sexual behaviour (in person or online), are not acceptable. 

If something doesn’t feel right, confidential support and reporting options are available through the University’s Student Health & Wellbeing Service. 

You can also find guidance, definitions, and ways to get support on the University’s Sexual Violence support page.
