This group aims to be a supportive, encouraging environment for producing excellent science. We subscribe to and support the University of Strathclyde’s unacceptable behaviour and personal relationship policies:
We encourage posting about our science and culture on social media, but please keep in mind that posting about work issues from a personal account can be in breach of university policies, as this extract notes:
“Inappropriate use of social media, whether at work or in a private capacity, can potentially violate the privacy, breach the security and/or harm the reputations of colleagues, students and/or the University. Breaches of these guidelines such as bullying of colleagues or social media activity which causes reputational damage to the University may constitute misconduct and could result in disciplinary action being taken.”
Further details, and more policies, can be found on the University of Strathclyde HR Policies and Procedures page.
In addition, all members of the lab, along with visitors, are expected to agree with the following code of conduct. We will enforce this code as needed. We expect cooperation from all members to help in ensuring a safe and productive working environment for everybody.
The Quick Version
The group is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion (or lack thereof).
The Less Quick Version
Harassment includes offensive comments related to sex, gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Group members asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact Leighton Pritchard immediately. For official concerns, or if Leighton is the cause of your concern, please follow the standard University of Strathclyde complaints procedure.
We expect members to follow these guidelines at any work-related event.
