Presentation
This short case study explores the work that has taken place at Manchester Metropolitan University over the last two years to address all forms of harassment and sexual misconduct. The session provides an overview of ways of working, collaboratively and across the organisation, to ensure everyone works as ‘one university’ on this agenda. The session shares insights on Manchester Metropolitan University's approach to governance and management, as well as showcasing some examples of good practice that they have developed along the way. The case study rounds off with a ‘look forward’ and discusses the approach Manchester Metropolitan University is taking to the Office for Students Condition E6 compliance work.
