Online learning provider launches sexual consent course for FE students and staff
The Skills Network is supporting schools and colleges following Ofsted’s updated FE and Skills Handbook
Online learning provider, The Skills Network, has developed and launched a new Sexual Consent course this month (July) aimed at further education students and staff, following the new Ofsted inspection changes in the updated FE and Skills Handbook.
The course, which covers sexual harassment, violence, and online sexual abuse awareness, will give schools and colleges the knowledge to implement processes supported by relevant and evidenced training – ensuring institutions are compliant.
This innovative e-learning course will provide awareness to students and staff about sexual consent, in an easy and engaging way, allowing providers to track and monitor individual progress. It will also help further education institutions develop and implement policies and procedures, whilst supporting learners to identify and report concerns about sexual consent.
Megan Smith, Product Development Director, said: “We’re proud to launch this new course, as it will give further education institutions the support they need, to ensure they are tackling sexual harassment and following Ofsted’s latest recommendations.
“This will not only give staff the right tools to tackle sexual abuse, but it will also teach students about safeguarding risks, including risks online, helping them understand what makes a healthy relationship both online and offline.
“A recent poll published by Higher Education Policy Institute* revealed that only a small minority of students think their prior education prepared them for the reality of sex and relationships in higher education, whilst many students think it should be compulsory to pass a sexual consent assessment before entering higher education. We hope that this course will give students the support they need.”
Schools and colleges can sign up to the Sexual Consent course before changes come into effect in September, by visiting https://theskillsnetwork.com/.
