Although the previous version allowed us to take action on allegations of this nature, more detail has been added including definitions of examples of racial harassment (Appendix 1 section 2) and sexual misconduct (Appendix 1 section 5). For clarification more examples of misconduct have also been added into Section 3 of the policy.
Two previously separate policies 鈥� Student Social Media Policy and Dignity and Respect (Harassment) 鈥� have been incorporated into the main Student Disciplinary Procedure, thus streamlining and simplifying documentation.

The has also been updated to reflect these changes.
