Watch recording

The recording of our 29 January 2025 webinar is now available to watch.

In this session, Amy Norton, former HSM lead at OfS and current Head of EDI at LSE, provided insights into our online e-learning course on harassment and sexual misconduct and how it aligns with the new OfS regulatory condition E6 requirements. The webinar also explored how the course is designed for institutions, including seamless integration into existing platforms using SCORM, as well as how individuals can access and benefit from the training.
