4th June, 2025 | With sweeping regulatory changes shaking up the higher and further education sector, universities and colleges must adapt quickly.
From the new Condition E6 on preventing harassment and sexual misconduct to the OfS action on free speech, the compliance landscape is becoming more complex for HE/FE.
As the E6 compliance deadline of 1 August 2025 approaches, significant changes to governance, policies and procedures are required. At the same time, recent fines by the Office for Students against the University of Sussex have put a further spotlight on internal policies in the sector.
Our webinar covered the vital governance and policy changes your provider is expected to undertake.
- The key requirements under Condition E6, including reporting mechanisms, training obligations, and the ban on NDAs
- What “all reasonable steps” really means when it comes to protecting staff and students from harassment
- Legal and practical implications of free speech rulings and fines – including the University of Sussex case
- How to review policies, training and procedures to align with both student safety and lawful expression
Whether you’re in compliance, legal, student services or academic leadership, this is a must-attend session for anyone working in HE/FE.
