HRE Mandate and Core Functions

The Human Rights and Equity (HRE) Office is a resource for all Brock community members!

The work in this office consists of two separate, yet interrelated pieces.

  • First, HRE adheres to and follows the Ontario Human Rights Code, so while we recognize that local events connect to global contexts, our work is focused on being Ontario-centric. HRE addresses human rights, harassment and discrimination through two policies: the Respectful Work and Learning Environment Policy and the Sexual Violence Policy. HRE responds to disclosures of harassment, discrimination and violence through these two policies, and works with claimants and respondents to formulate resolutions.
  • Secondly, HRE offers equity services to staff, faculty, and students by advocating on behalf of individuals and groups of people, by providing education through workshops and other venues, and by offering guidance to those seeking to implement equity in their own working and learning spaces at Brock.
