Conduct and Resolution

Conduct-related support and resources for all students

About the Conduct and Resolution team

We’re here to help you have a safe and positive university experience. The University offers a range of conduct-related support services and resources for all students.

Our team takes a trauma-informed approach to support, ensuring sensitivity and care for everyone involved. We deliver activities that focus on prevention, alongside providing clear reporting and support routes for victim/survivors and all students affected. Our team manages the Report + Support service and provides Active Bystander training for student leaders, and promote key principles around Consent. We work closely with key services like Wellbeing and the Students’ Union (SU) to ensure you have access to comprehensive support throughout your time at Warwick.

Your department encourages you to take part in training on conduct-related topics. Many of these opportunities are eligible for the Warwick Award, so don’t miss out!

Good Course micro-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 questions.

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.

Register for the Active Bystander Skills course

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

This 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 focused on sexual misconduct and also covers how the strategies can be applied to other unacceptable behaviours.
