[The 1752 Group @1752Group]

Should perpetrators of sexual violence in higher ed be publicly named❓ What could a survivor-led approach look like❓

Join us on Monday as we launch & discuss a report on the silencing of sexual violence in academia & the politics of naming.

“The @EHRC guidance provides a clear rationale for universities to embrace anonymous reporting by staff as well as students, urging them to ‘consider introducing an online or externally run telephone reporting system that allows workers to make complaints on either a named or anonymous basis’.” – @anna_bull_ @1752Group

[The 1752 Group @1752Group]

We are campaigning to get universities to join the Misconduct Disclosure Scheme, to share information about ongoing or upheld disciplinary cases on sexual misconduct with new employers.

This step will help demonstrate that they are fulfilling the preventative duty.

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

“The new guidance also notes employers’ responsibility to avoid ‘passing the harasser’ on, reminding existing employers of their ‘duty not to provide a misleading or inaccurate reference to a potential employer’.” – @anna_bull_ @1752Group

[The 1752 Group @1752Group]

The UK's new 'preventative duty' for sexual harassment came into effect a couple of weeks ago.

This applies to all employers and staff.

If you want to know some of the implications of this in HE, take a look at article from The 1752 Group's @anna_bull_ below.

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

The UK’s new prevention duty could move the dial on sexual harassment in #HE: the rules should quash the idea that a formal investigation is the only way universities can take action on disclosures or rumours of abuse by staff, says @anna_bull_ of the @1752Group
