    unacceptable behaviour results in, or is likely to result in, a violation of a person’s dignity or
    creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading or offensive environment, and/or whether physical,
    property and/or non-pecuniary damage has occurred or is likely to occur.
  6. Violence and harassment means unacceptable behaviour by one or more persons, which may
    take many forms, some of which are easier to detect than others, and which is behaviour where
