Contract for the delivery of training packages for staff and students related to the new OfS condition of registration E6 (Harassment and Sexual Misconduct)

Description

The university regulator (the Office for Students - OfS) has recently announced a new condition of registration for all universities in England, which focuses on harassment and sexual misconduct. The new condition of registration follows work that was started in 2016 and follows a statement of expectation that many universities, including LJMU, have been working to since 2020. The new condition of registration expects that all universities will have embedded good practice in place for the 1st August 2025.
