Office for Students free speech complaints scheme
The Office for Students (OfS) operates a free speech complaints scheme. Under that scheme, the OfS can review complaints about free speech from current and former staff, applicants for academic posts, and (actual or invited) visiting speakers, as well as alumni and members of Court and Council.
The scheme is free to use. Information about the complaints that the OfS can review is available on its website. It cannot intervene or judge general complaints between a student and a university, but there are other routes for students to raise complaints.
Staff with complaints about freedom of speech within the University should use the grievance procedure in the first instance, using the link above.
