We've had a productive day with the University of Bristol working on their strategic planning for tackling gender based violence. We were worried that what we were asking of them would be too daunting and overwhelming as there is a LOT to do, but we made good progress!
There are still folks in #HE who say all sexual misconduct reports should be referred to the police. The implication is that victims should shut up and put up with it-if they can’t safely access their education, then that’s just tough. And that is not okay!
Here is Raab congratulating himself on the appalling conviction rate for rape and sexual offences
1% of ALL reports to police

Excellent read
Big news on sexual misconduct regulation in England announced on Wednesday: the higher education regulator is consulting on making tackling sexual misconduct a condition of registration, i.e. all institutions have to do it.
Here’s our take in a thread

This little bit of treasure arrived. Working/fighting against GBV, in higher education or otherwise? This is for you. Thank you for the opportunity and all your support @clarissajdh, Peta Franklin-Corben and @profgrahamtowl
What an ace resource 👏

Sadly, much of this account sounds familiar to us from our research and activism within universities. But even universities (mostly) now seem to know better than to discourage people from reporting... Unlike this account of the Guardian's response.
I am not the only person. This is not the only case. It is clear to me now that there are many hugely talented women missing today from our industry or not at the level they could've been because they have been sexually assaulted or harassed early on...theneweuropean.co.uk/lucy-si…
Hey Higher Ed change makers, those working against GBV in our working & learning environments might be interested in this 👇👇 Practitioners, professional services, activists, academics, researchers, policy makers, and ESPECIALLY senior leadership - let’s keep moving forward

while I’m here, BACP says “A Freedom of Information request we carried out found universities spend an average of just £39 per student on mental health support. This is particularly disappointing when compared to £2,690 per student spent on marketing.” bacp.co.uk/news/news-from-ba…
👇👇 This will happen more and more. #HE #FE do you see this? Do you hear us? Improvements in our accountability processes are desperately needed. It will take bold hearts and strong minds.
A group of ECRs at a UK university need help with crowdfunding legal costs in a staff sexual misconduct case.
If you're able to contribute, they would be very grateful. Please share widely crowdjustice.com/case/end-st…
It’s happening in UK schools, colleges and universities. People (most often women and girls), targeted & harmed are then betrayed by their communities and the institutions who have legal and ethical duties to protect them. This has to change. It will need courage and leadership.
Important thread 👇👇👇
We’ve been reading the report from @HowlettBrown into the Barlett School of Architecture (BSA) at @UCL which has important reflections on complaints practices and staff-student relationships policies. 🧵

Initially it was ruled his name should be kept anonymous by an internal hearing but they ultimately decided to publish it because: "It is absolutely vital that we are open, transparent, and accountable if we are to restore public confidence in policing".
