Dignity and Respect
Dignity and Respect means different things to all of us,
for some it means someone being polite, being treated fairly
or just acknowledgement the validity of differing views on
any given topic.
The University of Essex fosters an environment of Dignity
and Respect. We recognise that this can only be achieved
through staff, students and other members of our community
working together towards a safe, inclusive and healthy
environment.
