Bystander Training and consent courses for universities

Harassment and sexual misconduct are significant issues at universities, with 62% of students and recent graduates reporting sexual violence and 24% experiencing harassment on campus. Our online courses for universities can help change this.

Tackle harassment and sexual misconduct with our online courses

The Office for Students recommends mandatory bystander training and training on sexual consent. The condition of registration (Condition E6), will come into effect in August 2025. Now it the time to act to not only meet this condition but build a safer campus for everyone.

Our online courses are cost-effective, preventative and meaningful tools to promoting healthier relationships and reducing higher education & university harassment.

Brook’s bystander training and consent course work together to:

  • Foster a culture of respect
  • Equip students and staff to respond to harassment and sexual misconduct.
  • Help prevent unreported student sexual misconduct.

Consent training provides essential knowledge, while bystander training empowers students to act. Together, they help tackle issues like witnesses of sexual misconduct staying silent.

That’s why we offer a discount if you buy both together.
