Freedom of speech guidance: consultation webinars

We are running webinars to give universities and colleges, students and students’ unions the opportunity to find out more about our proposals.

We are running webinars to give universities and colleges, students and students’ unions the opportunity to find out more about our proposals: 

  • To publish guidance on the duties related to freedom of speech academic freedom
    This will help providers, students’ unions and students navigate their new free speech duties 
  • To amend the regulatory framework to reflect the OfS’s new functions 
  • On our approach to the recovery of costs in connection with the new free speech complaints scheme and the imposition of monetary penalties on students’ unions. 
See how we plan to carry out these duties

During these webinars we will talk about our proposals and attendees will be able to ask questions. These are not formal consultation events. 

Feedback to the consultation should be given via the online survey. 

Who should attend

We have scheduled four webinars for students, students’ unions, universities and colleges.
