The module supports practitioners, researchers, and advocates with an interest in these areas to further develop their approach to consent, sexual violence and harassment by reflecting on and addressing organisational culture, critically thinking about institutional structures and processes, and via targeted initiatives. Many of the strategies and skills called for by policies such as the Consent Framework are innovative, bringing an associated need for support for professional development. We are therefore learning together, and working in the area will be well served by developing a learning community that can mutually support a best practice model.
