Members of the panel may be approached on a number specially designed for this purpose. Where there is a complaint of harassment, an adviser will normally seek to resolve the problem informally in the first instance, unless it is appropriate to proceed otherwise, and the inquirer so wishes. Subject to obtaining the consent of the complainant, an adviser may discuss the question with the person against whom the complaint is made, or with any other relevant parties. College advisers will be guided by college rules, but are likely to proceed on a similar basis. It is emphasised that the role of advisers is advisory and not disciplin ary.
All disciplinary matters lie in the hands of the relevant disciplinary bodies.
If a complaint is not resolved on an informal basis under the procedure set out in para. 5, and if the complainant consents, the matter may be referred to the relevant disciplinary body, which will determine whether there is a prima facie case under the relevant disciplinary provision and, if appropriate, set in motion disciplinary procedures.

Complaints against junior members falling within the scope of the University's regulation on harassment shall be dealt with in accordance with the procedures contained in Tit.
