Consent Matters
Throughout October we are promoting our student training module Consent Matters at stalls across campus. Join us to talk about the importance of consent and looking out for others when creating a campus where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. Also learn more about support available to students.
You can find us at
- The Brooks building on 01/10/25 between 10am-1pm
- The Business School on 07/10/25 between 1pm-4pm
- Archway Halls on 08/10/25 between 1-3pm
- The Geoffrey Manton building on 21/10/25 between 10-1pm
Consent Matters is a short, interactive online course that takes around 30 minutes to complete. It will help you understand what consent and harassment mean in everyday situations; build stronger, healthier relationships; look out for others in our community; learn how to step in safely when something doesn’t feel right.
16 Days of Activism
25th November - 10th December 2025 sees the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence - you can read more about this here.
Please note: whilst the international campaign focuses on violence against women and girls, we recognise that gender-based violence is experienced by all marginalised genders, including trans and non-binary individuals, therefore the events we are running during this time are open to all genders, allies included.
We will be holding a 16 Days of Activism Support Fair on the 25th November, 11am-3pm in the Dalton Building. Local organisations (including Greater Manchester Rape Crisis, Manchester Women's Aid and the LGBT Foundation) will be offering information and support to students on the topics of harassment and sexual violence.
On 2nd December 2025, the Student Welfare Team ran a Bake Sale for staff to fundraise for Manchester Action on Street Health. We are very pleased to have raised £134 for this vital local service.
