C. Roles and responsibilities of supervisors in the prevention of discrimination in the workplace and/or the learning environment
01

Staff, who have leadership/management roles in the University, are empowered to act to prevent and address issues related to discrimination and harassment. These include:

  • To be a role model
  • To nurture a discrimination-free workplace and/or learning environment
  • To communicate the University’s relevant policies and procedures clearly
  • To take each complaint seriously and respond promptly
  • To enhance awareness of colleagues and students
  • To receive regular training on equal opportunities and prevention of discrimination
02Supervisors at all levels play an important role in encouraging a positive workplace and learning environment. If something observed that is in breach of the University’s policies and procedures, you should act to stop it. You may:
  a.    Discuss the issue with the staff/students whose behaviour is of concern;
  b.    Advise staff/students that the behaviour could be offensive and that it is not appropriate behaviour in the workplace and/or learning environment; and
  c.    Seek advice from the responsible officer at DIO through the CADSH hotline at 3943 8716 or email to padsh@cuhk.edu.hk.
