Keeping our online spaces safe for everyone

Our online spaces, like Teams and Mentimeter, should be safe, respectful and inclusive for everyone. Just like on campus, we take poor behaviour online seriously.

Accessing our online spaces

Always use your @gre.ac.uk account to access our teaching, learning, collaboration and communication tools This will make sure that your attendance is recorded, as well as making it easier for you to join and access any resources shared in the session.

If you are having difficulty logging in to or using your university account please contact the IT Service Desk.

Use our network respectfully and responsibly

Remember that all use of university devices and networks is monitored to ensure compliance with our policies and legal requirements. Any inappropriate or flagged content will be reviewed and addressed in line with our policies.

Keep anonymous comments polite and inclusive

Tools like Mentimeter let you share ideas anonymously, which can be great if you're shy or unsure about speaking up. But it’s important to keep things respectful. All comments must be polite, inclusive, and constructive. Inappropriate responses can affect the learning environment for everyone. If you're unsure whether something is okay to post, don’t post it.

Challenging inappropriate behaviour

We have a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of sexual misconduct, bullying, harassment and discrimination. Our policy on student behaviour applies equally to online activities.

We expect all students to uphold respectful and responsible conduct. Any incidents may be investigated under the Student Disciplinary Policy, and outcomes could be noted on your record.

If you experience or witness behaviour online from an "anonymous" individual, contact the IT Service Desk with full details of the session and the alias used for further investigation.

If you experience or witness any behaviour, online or in-person, which breaches our policies, or makes you feel uncomfortable, you can report it or seek guidance, advice and support from our Report + Support platform.
