Should there be an issue raised by a student in a specific sport the following initial process will be followed:

 

Report and Support Process

 

The Student Enrichment Directorate, of which Team Durham is a sub-section, takes all student complaints seriously and has a Case Manager who works closely alongside the Student Conduct Office to investigate all matters relating to student complaints and concerns, student discipline, allegations of student misconduct, and sexual misconduct and violence. 

If you wish to make a complaint or raise a concern, you can contact the Student Enrichment Directorate Case Manager, Carol Walker, directly - or if you prefer via your Coach, designated Sports Manager, or Head of Sport.  All cases will be handled in the strictest of confidence, passed onto the Directorate Case Manager and managed in line with the University’s Student Complaints Procedures. More serious cases may be referred to the Student Conduct Office for investigation.
