Scope
Description
The Office for Students (OfS) introduced Condition E6 to regulate how higher education institutions (HEIs) in England prevent and address harassment and sexual misconduct. This regulation aims to create safer environments for students by establishing clear requirements for handling these issues. It addresses the need for institutions to take significant and credible steps to protect students from behaviour that may amount to harassment and/or sexual misconduct. The regulation covers various forms of harassment, including sexual misconduct, and is grounded in legislative frameworks such as the Equality Act 2010 and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Based on this new requirement, Northumbria University is seeking bids from qualified and experienced training providers to deliver Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Training for selected staff and all students. The aim of this training is to raise awareness, promote a respectful and safe campus environment, and ensure compliance with the Office for Students (OfS) Sexual Harassment training requirements.
