Event summary

SUMS Consulting is carrying out an independent evaluation for the Office for Students looking at whether the statement of expectations for English universities and colleges has influenced how they seek to prevent and respond to harassment and sexual misconduct that affect students.

As part of SUMS’ research for the evaluation, we are holding four online roundtable discussions via Zoom for providers later in June 2022 to discuss different aspects of the statement of expectations.

This is an opportunity for you to share your views with us about whether the statement of expectations has changed your approaches to preventing and addressing harassment and sexual misconduct, and consider what further positive change may be needed.
