Social safety at MoTiv
MoTiv wants to be a place where students, employees and visitors feel welcome and where everyone treats each other with respect.
Collegiality, integrity, equality, respect, openness and attention for one another matter a great deal to us. Every form of undesirable conduct is unacceptable, and we see it as an important duty to act as adequately and appropriately as possible whenever such conduct is alleged.
As an ecclesiastical training and coaching organisation working in higher education, we are by definition a place where people from diverse backgrounds meet and work together. Everyone connected to our organisation, whether employee or visitor, contributes to a space where we treat each other with respect, regardless of background, religious belief, sexual preference, disability, role or function. Social safety is therefore a task for all of us.
What we consider unacceptable
- Sexual intimidation and other forms of intimidation
- Aggression and violence
- Bullying
- Discrimination in any form
We carry that message out daily, in our work and in the way we treat one another.
Reporting something
If you experience something that is not right, or you are unsure about it, you can report it. For reporting and investigating undesirable conduct, MoTiv follows the confidential counsellor and the complaints procedure of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands and of the Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands. Professionals at MoTiv are covered by these codes.
Who can report
A complaint can be submitted by an employee, a student or a third party. You do not have to work or study at MoTiv to raise something.
Through your programme as well
Students can also approach the confidential counsellor of their own study programme, or Student Affairs, with whom MoTiv works together.
How a complaint is handled
An independent complaints officer advises the relevant council, such as the church council, the foundation council or the board, on how the complaint is handled.
What can follow
Staff are governed by the rules of their own church. The responsible church can then take appropriate measures.
