Engaging and Mobilising Higher Education Staff in Ending SVH

Please join us on the morning of December 1st to help us launch three new reports on how we can engage Higher Education staff and mobilise them in our efforts to end sexual violence and harassment, hosted by Technological University Dublin on the Aungier Street Campus.

The reports will provide you with insights on:

· Bystander intervention, consent, and informal disclosure response: A national panel of experts’ views on what Higher Education staff need to know and do.

· All-staff awareness campaigns: Current practices and new initiatives on sexual violence and harassment prevention and response.

· Targeted education sessions for staff: Creating briefing sessions on SVH for staff in Higher Education.

These reports are part of a project to create an Engagement & Resilience Action model for Higher Education staff in Ireland. The project set out to examine how the positive staff attitudes and intentions seen in the findings of the HEA National Survey findings could be converted into capacity building in knowledge and skills.

The project was led by a partnership of SVHPR managers and staff at: Atlantic Technological University, Mary Immaculate College, Maynooth University, Technological University Dublin, University of Galway, and University of Limerick, supported by the Active* Consent programme in Galway.

Many other experienced and expert colleagues took part in the project to tell us about their views, ideas and initiatives.

The project was undertaken as Action 16 of the Higher Education Authority Implementation Plan.
