Additionally, we provide advice and training to employees to support and empower them in maintaining a safe work and learning environment.
The social safety coordinator:
- aims to keep the campus safe for all students, employees and visitors;
- makes a risk-assessment of the severity of the situation;
- can take action to restore the safety;
- advises when needed and can contact internal and external parties (including the police, Blijf Groep, Sexual Assault Centre etc.);
- takes over the control of a situation if you want this.
Are you dealing with or have you heard about a (socially) unsafe situation, and is direct action required, then you can contact the social safety coordinator. They can take action to restore the safety.
Examples of concerning behaviour: addiction, suicide and/or self-harm, delusion, obsession, radicalisation, polarisation, suspicion towards society, extreme ideology.
In some cases it isn't reasonable that you find a solution for a situation yourself. Sometimes you may want advice about the severity and risk of a situation. How dangerous is the behaviour and what is its impact on my life? Examples of these situations are (online) threats, stalking or physical violence. In all these cases you can turn to the social safety coordinator.
