Training for Staff

The training module covers core content to include:    

• UK Law on Sexual Harassment and E6 Condition of Registration  
• What sexual harassment in the workplace looks like     
• Under reporting    
• Workplace Culture    
• Bystander Intervention    
• Reporting Mechanisms    

To support the university meeting the obligations in response to reports or complaints within the scope of our intentions to support the response framework within our Sexual harassment and misconduct policy, anyone allocated as Investigating Officer or Caseworker, as well as all Human Resources and Safeguarding colleagues, will have received enhanced training:  Supporting Safe, Fair and Trauma-Informed Responses to Sexual Misconduct and Harassment.   

 Survivors Matter- Staff   

 The content of the Tackling Sexual Harassment e-learning module is designed to be helpful and informative, however we understand that those who have experienced sexual violence may find the content of this course difficult or upsetting, so we offer an opt-out for survivors.

If staff opt out, they will receive one confirmation email from the university with information about support that is available which includes reporting mechanisms within our single comprehensive source of information.  The opt-out process is confidentially managed by our Safeguarding Team; however, the principal safeguarding lead will monitor trends and seek to explore any emerging pockets of opting out within teams or departments. Staff will receive reminders to complete the training and will therefore need to opt out on a bi-annual basis.
