Our code of practice to support our disabled students
Co-developed with students, our code of practice aims to bring together all information about inclusive practice and reasonable adjustments in one clear document.
Student Disability, Mental Health, and Inclusion Policy
The Student Disability, Mental Health, and Inclusion Policy sets out the University’s commitment to creating an inclusive environment for disabled students and provide a framework to contribute to the ongoing development of an enabling environment which promotes positive mental health and wellbeing for all members and service users of the University, in line with the institutional Wellbeing Strategy.
Assistance Animals for Disabled People Policy
We recognise that some disabled staff and students may need to use an assistance dog, and under the Equality Act 2010, assistance dogs are permitted on the University grounds. The Assistance Animals for Disabled People Policy outlines the way in which we will manage the provision of campus access for assistance animals as part of our commitment to creating a diverse campus.
Behaviour Misconduct (including Student Harassment and Sexual Misconduct)
The University's regulations, policies and procedures on behaviour misconduct (including student harassment and sexual misconduct), and intimate personal relationships between staff members and students are summarised on this page. This webpage is the 'single comprehensive source of information' required by the Office for Students (OfS registration condition E6Link opens in a new window).
We are committed to taking steps that make a significant and credible difference to protecting students and staff from behaviour misconduct (including harassment and sexual misconduct). These include:
-
Analysing and publishing data from our Report + Support portal. Our annual reports cover student and staff disclosures in the academic years 2020/21 to the present.
-
Consulting with Warwick Student’s Union on changes to our student policies on behaviour misconduct (including harassment and sexual misconduct). Students are represented on the committees where these policies are approved.
- Delivering prevention and awareness training to create long-term culture change.
In 2023/24 and 2024/25, more than 300 hours of awareness training and preventative education was delivered by the Report + Support Team. As of February 2026, in 2025/26, 107 hours of awareness training and preventative education has been delivered by the Report + Support Team. The We Act programme has delivered more than 11,000 hours of student training since it's full rollout in 2020. -
Our sexual misconduct policies for students and staff align with legal requirements and sector guidance. The introduction of Condition E6 is designed to strengthen protections against harassment and sexual misconduct and sets out clear expectations for universities to create a safer, more supportive environment for students and staff.
