UQ Respect Student Training

Ethical Bystander Training

Secondary prevention focuses on the immediate response to violence or harassment as it occurs, to stop it from escalating or getting worse. We want to promote an ethical bystander approach equipping students and staff with the knowledge, skills and confidence to intervene safely if they witness disrespectful behaviour.

This interactive workshop will guide participants through specific scenarios in which you will explore strategies that everyday people can use to speak up and take action to make a positive difference. Please allow one hour for this training.

When: Please request this training within your area by submitting an EOI here.

Where: This training session can be delivered in person or online.

UQ Respect - Sexual Consent, Ethical Bystanding and Compassionate Response

We all have an important role to play in promoting safety and respect on campus and in society. ALL UQ students are expected to complete this module that will strengthen your skills and understanding of sexual consent, provide practical tips on being an ethical bystander and language for how to respond with compassion should a peer tell you about an experience of sexual assault or sexual harassment. This is an online, self-paced module that is available through blackboard.

If you have experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment, support is available and you can contact the Sexual Misconduct Support Unit.
