Training for Student and Apprentice Learners

Time will be dedicated to completing this content within all induction programmes. Further details on how to access the content can be found via this dedicated page.    

The courses are aimed to understand our expectations, recognise acceptable boundaries, understand behaviour that may constitute sexual harassment and/or misconduct and learn how to support friends and colleagues. The course will show students and apprentice learners what consent looks and sounds like, how they can clearly communicate what they want, when consent can be given, when it can’t, and how and when they might step in when consent is not present.    

The university recognises that talking about sex and personal boundaries can be difficult, and through the completion of the programme we hope students and apprentice learners within all levels of their study, and whatever pathway through learning they are on, will learn how to recognise and ask for sexual consent, look out for others at the university, and find support when it’s needed.   

Survivors Matter- Students and Apprentice Learners   

We run Consent Matters and Tackling Harassment for Students and Apprentice Learners because we want the University community to understand the importance of sexual consent. Consent Matters 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 students or apprentice learners opt out, they will receive one confirmation email from the university with information about support that is available.  The opt-out process is confidentially managed by our Safeguarding Team and no one else will be informed of the students or apprentice learners opting out.
