Reporting Point for Social Safety and Integrity

Everyone at the UvA has the right to study or work in a safe and integrity-based environment. Nevertheless, if you experience inappropriate behaviour, transgressive behaviour or a breach of integrity, there are several places at the UvA where you can turn. The best place for you to turn to depends on your situation and request for help. The reporting point will guide you. It is independent and will handle your report confidentially.
