Sexual misconduct & hate crime prevention/disclosure resources

The University is committed to ensuring a culture free from physical misconduct, sexual misconduct and abusive behaviour; this includes discriminatory behaviour or behaviour that would be classed as 'hate crime'. To enable staff and students to respond appropriately to disclosures or situations where someone might be at risk, a number of briefings and trainings are available, including student-led consent workshops for undergraduate students at the beginning of their studies, staff disclosure training, and bespoke sessions. For more details please contact oscca@admin.cam.ac.uk.

A number of organisations exist to raise awareness and encourage the reporting of hate crime. The resources on this page provide some examples of available material.
