We aim to create a safe place for students and staff, where everyone feels included, respected, and supported.

  • Academic Integrity Awareness (Approximately 60 - 90 mins)
  • Sex and Consent (Approximately 30 - 45 mins)
  • Students who don't complete the module in their first TP will be blocked from enrolling into their second course.
  • Students may request exemptions from Sex and Consent (e.g. a student who experienced trauma applied for exemption). This is managed through Safer Community (submit referral).
