Consultation

Consultation on harassment and sexual misconduct in higher education

Our proposals set out expectations for universities and colleges to follow and how the Office for Students will regulate harassment and sexual misconduct affecting students in higher education providers.

Our proposed 'statement of expectations' covers the processes, policies and systems we expect providers to have in place.

Date:: 9 January 2020

This consultation is no longer open for responses. Following engagement with stakeholders, we published a finalised statement of expectations in April 2021. See our statement of expectations and further information.
