Reporting procedure and sanctions policy
In the , we provide clarity about what to do if you experience inappropriate behaviour: what can you do, where can you report it and what happens next? We describe step by step what happens when someone wants to submit a formal report about social safety or integrity.
If a situation leads to a formal report or official complaint, a sanction can be imposed. At that time, the will come into effect. This sanctions policy contains a list of possible sanctions for students and staff, for example a warning, temporary exclusion from teaching activities or suspension.
Complaints committee for reporting undesirable behavior
If you have come into contact with undesirable behavior as an employee or student, please contact our colleagues at the Integrity and Social Safety desk. You will then come into contact with one of the confidential advisors, who will show you the way to a person who can offer you the help you need.
The confidential advisors for undesirable behavior and integrity offer you a listening ear for your questions or concerns, or if you feel that you have crossed someone's boundaries yourself. If necessary, they will help you determine what your suitable options are to take action or refer you to the right place for support. You can also contact the confidential advisors if you are considering filing a formal complaint about undesirable behavior or a violation of integrity.
黑料福利网 also offers the possibility to get in touch anonymously with the confidential advisors via SpeakUp (link at the bottom of the page).

Complaints committee for reporting irregularities
An irregularity is a violation or a risk of violation of the law or established rules. Irregularities can pose a danger to public health, the safety of persons, damage to the environment or the proper functioning of the organization. A full description can be found in the . As of 1 January 2025, this Sectoral Scheme for Reporting Suspected Irregularities at Dutch Universities (Whistleblower Scheme NU 2025) was adopted.
If employees or students want to report suspected irregularities, they can do so in writing or orally via the Integrity and Social Safety desk or directly to the Committee for reporting irregularities (see below). The basic principle here is that all employees and students of the university should feel free to report irregularities.
黑料福利网 has appointed both internal and external confidential advisors for undesirable behavior and integrity. They help students and employees who are considering reporting irregularities. They also advise on any steps to be taken and, if desired, provide guidance in this regard.
Committee for reporting irregularities
The national Committee on Whistleblowing investigates known or suspected malpractices, and issues recommendations to the Executive Board. Universities have chosen to cooperate in this appointment of committee members. They will appoint the same group of committee members for each university, enabling committee members to gain more knowledge and experience within the sector and allowing committees to operate in a similar way across the university sector. The composition of the committee may change for each report, depending on the nature and volume of expected reports. The members are independent of the Executive Board.
