Legal Basis And Procedure

Discrimination and bullying are prohibited at HHN. You have the right to lodge a complaint in such cases. This is based on the General Equal Treatment Act and the statutes on protection against discrimination and bullying.

A formal complaint is a major hurdle for many. There are often other possible solutions. That is why the university has created contact points to which you can turn in confidence. The advisors will discuss your options with you and, if necessary, support you in taking further steps to resolve the conflict. If you first want to find out who you can turn to, the guides will help you.

Before making a formal complaint, you will receive detailed advice on the procedure either from the complaints office or from one of the contact points. You can also read about the procedure in the statutes on protection against discrimination.
