Request
Request Received: 27 January 2025
Please could I request the number of UKRI-funded researchers reporting bullying and harassment over the time period of 2019 to 2024, broken down by research council?
Could I also request the figures of UKRI-funded researchers reporting sexual harassment within the same period in the same time period, broken down by research council?
For both requests, please could I have both the number of cases reported and upheld, and the number of cases reported and not upheld?
Clarification Received: 6 March 2025
I confirm I'm happy with [the definition that is set out in the UKRI Preventing Harm policy, which states "To manage the risks associated with our funding, organisations must inform UKRI of any upheld allegations of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment, bullying, psychological abuse and physical violence against staff, students or associated personnel directly involved in a UKRI funded activity."]
I'm just seeking data for researchers who have applied for and received grant-funding from UKRI, not [researchers who are employed by UKRI and work at UKRI funded institutes].
