Mandatory consent training for TU Online students

Consent Matters uses a wide range of interactive activities to provide up-to-date education on consent, communication skills and relationships and looking out for others. Whilst the training is mandatory, it is also what prospective employers are increasingly looking for in potential employees, along with knowledge on equality and diversity and health & safety.

With this course and the continued support through the Yes to Respect campaign, we're looking for students to promote positive cultural change within our university community.

To access the training modules, you will need your Teesside University email address and password.
