Students are being asked to complete a new online consent programme to develop their understanding, communication and respect as a student in Oxford’s community. In the short interactive course, they will learn how to recognise and ask for sexual consent, look out for others, and where to find support if they need it.
Students can access the course remotely now and have been advised about it via today’s offer holder and student newsletters. Please encourage students in your part of the University to complete the training before arriving in Oxford for the start of term.
Consent Matters forms part of Oxford Against Sexual Violence, the University’s campaign that exists to send a clear message that sexual harassment and violence of any form is unacceptable.
Free, independent support and advice is available to any student who has been affected by sexual harassment or violence through the Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service.
