NMITE is committed to creating a community that is safe, inclusive, and respectful for all students and staff. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to harassment and sexual misconduct - because no one should ever feel unsafe or unheard.
What’s Changed - and Why It Matters
From 1 August, NMITE’s updated Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy strengthens our framework for action. This includes:
- Clear definitions of what constitutes misconduct, guided by legal and ethical standards
- Mandatory training for all staff and students, raising awareness and responsibility
- Clear accessible reporting pathways that meet the needs of every individual
- Enhanced support from our Student Services Team and wellbeing professionals
