Any student or bystander who experiences or witnesses’ harassment and/or sexual misconduct is encouraged to make a disclosure or formal report.
In considering the wellbeing of a person involved in a disclosure of harassment and/or sexual misconduct, the College or Navitas will consider all implications with regards to that person participating in potential reports and/or misconduct processes and investigations. These implications will be balanced against the College or Navitas’s obligations to address the possible misconduct and to provide a safe environment and workplace.
What is a Disclosure: The provision of information to the College or Navitas about a person’s experience of harassment or sexual misconduct. The Discloser may not necessarily want the College or Navitas to investigate or to take any specific action in response to the alleged incident.
What is a Formal Report: A complaint of harassment or sexual misconduct by a person. This requires the College or Navitas to take steps beyond the offer and provision of support services, including (without limitation) the commencement of an investigation and/or a disciplinary process in appropriate circumstances in response to the alleged incident.
All disclosures will be reviewed by an appropriate staff member to assess whether a further investigation is required, and all formal reports will be followed up by an investigation.
The College has several ways to report an incident.

Report an incident to any member of staff in person or ask to speak to a trained advisor (Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Responder (HSM-R)).
