Who may make a complaint of sexual harassment or discrimination?
Any member of the UK community may report complaints of harassment or discrimination. Sexual harassment, a form of discrimination, can occur in all types of circumstances and relationships including those between or among individuals of different sexes or of the same sex; in relationships of unequal power (for example, between supervisor and employee, faculty member and student, employee and job applicant); and in relationships of equal power (for example, between fellow employees or fellow students). Racial harassment is a form of discrimination based on race, color or national origin. It can include many types of actions and results when different treatment occurs without a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason or when an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment is created. Other forms of discrimination may be present when different treatment occurs or when an intimidating or hostile environment is created without a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason.
