Consent Matters — Part of the Oxford Against Sexual Violence Campaign
Consent matters. That is why we are asking all students to complete a new online consent programme to develop your understanding, communication and respect as a student in Oxford’s community. In the short interactive course, you will learn how to recognise and ask for sexual consent, look out for others, and where to find support if you need it.
You can access the course remotely now, via https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/supportservice/consent-matters, and we encourage you to complete the training before arriving in Oxford for the start of term.
Consent Matters forms part of Oxford Against Sexual Violence (for more details see https://www.ox.ac.uk/againstsexualviolence), the University’s campaign that exists to send a clear message that sexual harassment and violence of any form is unacceptable.
Free, independent support and advice is available to any student who has been affected by sexual harassment or violence through the Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service (https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/supportservice).
