eLearning Module: Consent and Gender-Based Violence

Introducing our new eLearning module for universities and higher education providers. Evidence-based, practical and designed to support your institution's compliance with the National Code* – built by young people, together with leading gender-based violence prevention experts.

The content felt relevant and tailored to my age group too. I love how all the content was directed to be actionable takeaways and didn't remain theoretical or ungrounded in real world examples/scenarios.

The content was extremely relevant (for all learners) and the real-life examples shown over video offered really practical takeaways which I will take into my personal life. The transcripts offered alongside the video were extremely helpful as well.

I considered the video examples exceptionally good in these modules. They significantly reinforced the textual learning and the branching responses and genuine dialogue between characters made me feel present within the situation, and that my choices mattered. The notes on affirmative consent were also certainly the most clear I have ever seen out of a course like this, and I sincerely appreciated reading about it and engaging with the examples and questions.

Postgraduate International Student

I strongly agree with all of this because the concepts were explained clearly and glossary a really amazing, it helped a lot to understand the terms. The content was relevant based on the real life scenarios of a university student. Also the CARDS framework and how to respond when someone tells about their experience are the things I can use.
