The University Personal Harassment Network is staffed by volunteers from across the University workforce who have received training in the Harassment Policy and Procedures. They are available to provide information on a confidential basis to any member of University staff who feels (s)he is being harassed.

The Personal Harassment Network is available to any employee, regardless of their area of work. It is intended that the network is a further avenue of support, in addition to other support/welfare groups which already exist.

Getting Involved

The University of Sheffield is interested in receiving expressions of interest from any of its employees who would like to explore becoming a Network Contact. The role of a Network Contact is unpaid and voluntary but provides a unique opportunity to get involved in a University wide project alongside your existing substantive role.

An expression of interest is welcome form any member of University staff by completing the form above (See Links). The expression of interest form must be countersigned by your line manager, to ensure they can accommodate the small time commitment required to fulfil this role, should you take it up. Expressions of interest should be sent to the Network Lead, Teresa Ellis, in Human Resources.

If either you or your line manager would like to talk to someone informally about the role. Please contact Teresa Ellis on 0114 222 1485.

Support is also available from the University Counselling Service (extension 24134, email: ucs@sheffield.ac.uk) and the Student Advice Centre, in the Union of Students (ext. 28660, email: sac@sheffield.ac.uk). Further information on the Harassment Policy and Procedures, can be found on the University’s web pages.

Any member of staff may approach any member of the contact network, but if you would like guidance on whom to contact over a specific problem, please contact Teresa Ellis, Human Resources (extension 21485, email t.ellis@sheffield.ac.uk).
