Consent.Ed

All sessions will take place on: Friday, 25 September (11.15am - 12.15am)

(Please check your Student Hub calendar to see WHERE your session is)

It is compulsory that you and everyone in the LSE community takes part in Consent.Ed. Level 1 and Level 2 should be completed by all students. Level 1 is an online course and can be accessed via Moodle (or by following the below link). This should be completed before attending your Level 2 session.

Level 2 sessions (those listed above) will form part of your departmental induction. This will be a 90-minute workshop attended alongside your department peers. In this session you will explore issues around sexual consent, providing an opportunity to discuss how we can look for one another and create a positive, respectful consent culture, where everyone feels safe on campus.

As we recognise the sensitive nature of Consent.Ed, the school will be offering survivor-only workshops, to create a carefully tailored space for discussion. There is also an opt-out form available should you feel unable to participate in Consent.Ed.

To access the link to Level 1, or view information on survivor-only sessions/ opting-out please see the LSE webpage: Complete your Consent.Ed training (lse.ac.uk)

Questions: please email Su.Consent@lse.ac.uk
