Teesside University is committed to ensuring all members of our University community are respected and supported in an inclusive and safe environment, feel able to challenge any prejudice and discrimination and know that the University will take a zero tolerance approach to all forms of sexual violence, domestic abuse, hate crime, harassment and bullying.
Throughout the coming months you will find 'Yes to Respect' material and events around campus. This is to ensure we are actively encouraging students, staff and visitors to think about their language and behaviour towards others, to support and embed a culture where everyone feels respected.
Teesside University have a team of advisers who can help you if you need any further support or advice. They can be contacted via email Studentlife@tees.ac.uk.
Our Student Advisers will ensure that you receive the right support to enable you to feel safe and supported throughout your time at University.

Yes to Consent
We are working to ensure that our campus is a safe environment for everybody, and have developed, within Yes to Respect, free access to Epigeum's online Consent Matters course.
The course will help you understand sexual consent and how to recognise situations when consent can and can't be given, whatever your gender or sexuality. The course can support you in thinking about your own boundaries and how to talk about them. It also demonstrates different ways you could step in if you see or hear something you're uncomfortable with.
