The advisory report Social Safety in Dutch Academia - From Paper to Practice is a practical guide with recommendations and tips for preventing or tackling inappropriate behaviour at an early stage. Naomi Ellemers: "We have tried to make invisible forces visible. In doing so, we wish to initiate a process to neutralize the breeding ground for inappropriate behaviour. To prevent future problems as far as possible".
