Confidential Advisors and Ombuds

The TU/e has appointed both internal and external confidential advisors for undesirable behavior and irregularities. They help students and employees who consider to report an irregularity, and where applicable to advise on further steps to be taken. They can also provide follow-up support if required.

The confidential advisors can also assist people accused of causing a problem, however we prefer to refer them to external confidential advisors for support.

Ombuds for staff

TU/e has appointed an Ombuds for staff who contributes to a safe working environment and to the learning ability of the organization, by advising on the basis of reports and/or serious signals about (structural) bottlenecks in procedures and regulations. 

The Ombuds for staff acts independently and impartially and has no relationship of authority in this function. The Ombudsman for staff is a confidential contact point for employees who experience bottlenecks and/or wish to report abuses.
