Social safety and Code of Coduct
In line with the university’s core values, a safe social setting for work and study, where we treat each other with respect, is essential. The VU Code of Conduct and all of the regulations associated with this document, like Art of Engagement, offer guidance in this area. At VU Amsterdam we want you to be able to find the right person or department if you unexpectedly encounter problems at work. Visit the Help, Support and Advice page to find out which department is best placed to help you.
New colleagues are requested to take the e-learning module Social Safety for Staff. It’s a powerful interactive course that features three short videos portraying familiar, relatable workplace scenarios: what entails social safety, how do you recognise signs of socially unsafe behaviour, and what actions can you take when such situations arise?
Safe handling of personal data and ICT facilities
Other safety measures taken by VU Amsterdam include those related to the secure and careful handling of personal data. The provisions for this are laid down in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you work with confidential and/or personal data, you must also comply with these provisions. Please read this information carefully.
VU Amsterdam gives its employees access to its ICT facilities, including computers, the internet, email and other applications. For security reasons, the rules of conduct described in the ICT Facilities Regulations for Staff of VU Amsterdam apply. Again, we urge you to read this information carefully.
