Introduction to harassment and sexual misconduct: signposting and support

Find out more about this essential harassment and sexual misconduct training.

What is the module?

Introduction to Sexual Misconduct and Harassment is a short online training module that all NTU students are required to complete during their first term. It takes approximately 15 minutes to finish and is designed to help you understand what respectful behaviour looks like, what constitutes harassment and sexual misconduct, and how to access support.

Why we are delivering this module?

We want all NTU students to live and study in an environment that is safe, respectful, and enjoyable. As you will all be in a new environment and interacting with new people, this training will give everyone a shared understanding of respect and boundaries to help everyone thrive.

In 2025, the Office for Students released a new condition of registration for higher education institutions, titled Condition E6: Harassment and sexual misconduct. The regulation requires that all students are equipped with knowledge around understanding harassment and sexual misconduct, as well as understanding support available.

Nottingham Trent University has had an existing comprehensive prevention and response mechanism to sexual misconduct and harassment, including mandatory consent workshops, report + support online platform, and required training for staff. To learn more about NTU's commitment to a safe and inclusive environment.
