Presentation
As higher education providers strengthen their approach to consent, harassment and sexual misconduct, they are responding both to the continued prevalence of these issues on university campuses and to the requirements of the Office for Students. Questions are increasingly being asked about the impact of mandatory training. How can institutions show whether training is making a measurable difference in learner understanding and confidence, and how it contributes to wider prevention and response strategies?
Epigeum launched a pilot ‘efficacy survey’ to explore whether it's possible to provide structured, proportionate evidence of learner-reported impact in prevention and response training. This session shares the motivations to start the work, details about collaborations with universities and tools designed by sector experts that capture meaningful insights, and implications of the early findings.
This session reflects on key learnings from the pilot and outlines plans for the next phase, focusing on how institutions and training providers can strengthen reporting, evaluation, and continuous improvement that align with Office for Students’ expectations and contribute to genuine cultural change.
