Content warning – discussion of consent.
We are committed to supporting positive cultural change within our community to ensure a safe and supportive environment for you. This includes communicating our values and expectations of equality, diversity and inclusivity, a commitment to developing awareness and conversations about issues such as consent and encouraging everyone to be an active bystander by calling out poor behaviour if you see it.
This year we are expanding our support by asking all of you to engage with a Consent Matters online course that will develop your understanding of the importance of sexual consent and how you can use this knowledge to promote positive cultural change in our university community. The interactive course consist of three modules – Thinking about Consent, Communication Skills and Relationships and Looking out for Others - which will empower you to have confidence in understanding boundaries, respect ands positive intervention.
We understand these topics can sometimes be challenging to engage with. If you’d like to discuss your response to these topics or related concerns please contact our Wellbeing Advisers at wellbeingroyalholloway.ac.uk.
