Bullying, Harassment and Sexual Misconduct: Guidance and Support

To create a positive environment for all students at Leeds Trinity University, and in line with the Office for Students' (OfS) E6 condition, we provide mandatory consent, active bystander, and harassment training. This is an in-person training session delivered during Welcome Week, led by specially-trained staff. 

The session is designed to help students understand what bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct can look like, how to recognise unacceptable behaviours, and what to do if you or someone else is affected. It will also highlight the support available to you at Leeds Trinity University and how to report concerns. 

We are aware that for some students, the sensitive nature of this subject matter may cause distress. If you feel it would not be appropriate for you to attend the training, please complete the opt-out form.

We are committed to ensuring that all colleagues have an up-to-date understanding of how to recognise and report behaviour that may constitute bullying, harassment and/or sexual misconduct. In addition to the information we have set out on this page, we do this as follows: 

• All colleagues at Leeds Trinity University are required to undertake regular mandatory training to raise awareness of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct, including what each colleague is responsible for individually, alongside how we meet our obligations more broadly as an organisation. 
• We also deliver specialist training for all colleagues likely to be involved in receiving disclosures from students about incidents of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct, including how to undertake investigations and make decisions in relation to incidents of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct.  

All of our training is sourced and/or delivered through approved and credible providers. 

Our Student Support and Wellbeing team are available to help you with any concerns and to support you through your experiences.

You can contact them directly at studentsupport@leedstrinity.ac.uk or visit them in person at either our Main Campus on Horsforth or Leeds City Campus.

Support hours

You can contact the team seven days a week:

• Monday to Friday: 9:00am to 5:00am
• Saturday to Sunday: 12:00pm to 5:00am

We are committed to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment for all our employees.
