Reporting Adverse Incidents

The School of Social Work does not tolerate harassment, discrimination or mistreatment in any form. We recommend you report unprofessional or inappropriate behavior, intolerance, violence or illegal discrimination that you witness or experience. 

In alignment with the Code of Ethics set forth by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), the social work profession must serve to uphold the principles of social justice. Reports of adverse incidents help to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for everyone in our community.

As outlined in the UB Discrimination and Harassment Policy, retaliation against anyone who reports discrimination, participates or assists in an investigation, or opposes a discriminatory act, practice or policy is unlawful and prohibited. Retaliation is not tolerated and may result in a referral to the university’s disciplinary process.
