Third Party Notification Group

Find out more about UCL's Third Party Notification Group (TPNG).

Research funders are increasingly requiring recipient organisations to provide notice of matters that have the potential to adversely impact the research they support. In particular, this relates to bullying, harassment and misconduct, such as the: 

• Wellcome policy on bullying and harassment
• Cancer Research UK policy on Dignity at Work in Research
• British Heart Foundation policy on Bullying and Harassment.

UCL Third Party Notification Group

UCL’s TNPG has been established to:

• Provide consistent expert advice and support to the relevant UCL policy owner in the interpretation of, and compliance with, UCL’s contractual and regulatory obligations (to notify third parties)
• Ensure that such notice(s) adhere to UCL’s principles of fairness, confidentiality, integrity, prevention of detriment, and balance are GDPR compliant and are auditable
• Develop mechanisms in support of the above.

Further information about the group, including their Terms of Reference, is available on their webpage.
