Help and Support
- Please inform the HU and UU a.s.a.p.: This way we can support you in the event of an incident and we will not be surprised by others. If a case threatens to receive media attention, we can also put you in touch with one of our spokespersons for advice.
- Who to contact (UU): an overview of the help available to UU students
- Student&zorgwijzer (Vidius): overview of institutions that offer help to students
- Subsidy: If you have ideas about improving the social safety of students or if you would like to follow or request a workshop, please contact Robin Smeets or Isa Scherrenburg via socialeveiligheid@uu.nl.
Code of conduct and reporting procedure
Since 2024, a new component of the assessment process is the evaluation of the code of conduct. This code of conduct must meet the following four points:
- The code of conduct is in line with current societal norms, the UU Code of Conduct, and the HU Student Charter.
- The code of conduct clearly describes the standards of conduct within the organisation.
- The code of conduct must demonstrate which behaviors are and are not acceptable regarding substance use within the organisation.
- The code of conduct clearly describes which sanctions can be imposed and the procedure for doing so.
Each association is free to determine the precise content of the code of conduct. During the triennial Assessment, Bestuurlijk Actief will assess whether the code of conduct complies.
