Community of Practice - The Summer Series
Watch the recording: The Sussex Approach – Strengthening Student Discipline Processes for Sexual Misconduct
If you weren't able to join us live, you can now catch up by watching the recording of this Community of Practice session.
Following strong interest at our annual conference, this session explores a practical approach to managing student discipline cases relating to sexual misconduct, with a focus on Level 3 cases.
The University of Sussex shares their experience of developing a trauma-informed and inquisitorial approach to case management, one designed to support fair, effective decision-making while reducing some of the challenges associated with more adversarial processes.
The session covers key elements of their approach, including panel composition, annual training, pre-panel meetings, approaches to legal representation, and how their model works in practice.
Whether you’re reviewing your own student discipline processes, looking to strengthen existing approaches, or interested in learning from sector peers, this session offers practical insights and reflections on what effective case management can look like.
After the recording, you’re invited to stay online for an informal Q&A with the Culture Shift team and partners from the session. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, explore the approach in more detail, and discuss how the learning could apply within your own organisation.
We look forward to having you attend the event!
