Training

Tyne Coast College's training programme for staff plays an important Role in the college's approach to meeting its requirements under Condition E6: Harassment and Sexual Misconduct - Office for Students.

All staff must complete mandatory training, tailored to their role which aims to:

  • Prevent and address harassment and sexual misconduct
  • Equip staff to respond to disclosures, provide suitable support and report incidents
  • Ensure confidence and knowledge in handling complaints

This training will be communicated to staff via their line manager and records of completion are held centrally in the HR department.

All Higher Education students studying at Tyne Coast College will receive relevant training on Harassment and Sexual Misconduct and the college's approach to tackling this during their induction period onto their programme of study. This will be reinforced through “Hot Topics” covered by the Wellbeing and Safeguarding Team.

White Ribbon Accreditation

Furthermore, Tyne Coast College is committed to fostering a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for all students, staff and the wider community. Over the next three years, we aim to achieve White Ribbon accreditation, which will solidify our dedication to ending male violence against women and girls, promoting gender equality and cultivating a culture of respect.
