About the Conduct and Resolution team

We’re here to support you in having a safe university experience. The University offers a variety of conduct-related support services and resources accessible to all students, including PGT and PGR students. Our team manages the Report + Support service and provides Active Bystander training for student leaders. We collaborate closely with other key services across the University, including Well-being and the Students' Union (SU), to ensure you receive comprehensive support throughout your time at Warwick.

Your department encourages you to engage in training related to conduct issues, and there are several opportunities currently available for students, many of which are eligible for the Warwick Award.

Good Course mini-courses

All students (UG, PGT, and PGR) will be enrolled onto four micro-learning courses related to conduct and behaviour at Warwick. Each course takes just 4 to 7 minutes. A link to each course will be shared straight to your phone via message or to your email. You should tap the link you receive, and dive straight in. You will receive reminders to complete the course.

The message will be from ‘Good Course’ and Warwick’s ‘Conduct and Resolution’ Team. It is not spam, so do not delete it, but you can email conduct@warwick.ac.uk if you have any concerns. The courses are on Consent, Preventing Harassment, Being an Active Bystander, and Freedom of Speech, and you’ll receive one course at a time throughout the academic year.

Active Bystander skills course - now open

Active bystander strategies work in response to behaviours like sexual misconduct, harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and more.

The Active bystander course introduces what it means to be an active bystander, how to recognise harmful behaviours, and how we can respond as active bystanders to keep the members of our communities safe. It is very focused on sexual misconduct but also covers how the strategies can be applied to other unacceptable behaviours.

The course is four hours (with some breaks). Your get a certificate of completion and are eligible for two Warwick Award points. Term 1 dates are now open.
