Ciphr eLearning launches E6 Harassment and Sexual Misconduct training suite
Ciphr announces the launch of their E6 Harassment and Sexual Misconduct eLearning training suite.
Ciphr eLearning, powered by Marshall E-Learning, has launched a suite of engaging and informative eLearning modules to equip higher education (HE) institutions with the key knowledge they need to adhere to the E6 condition.
E6 is a new condition of registration from the Office for Students (OfS) which comes into force on 1 August 2025. It requires institutions to actively protect students from harassment and sexual misconduct.
Ciphr eLearning has designed and delivered an E6 Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Suite designed to aid HE institutions as they navigate compliance with this condition specifically, the requirement to provide regular, mandatory training for all staff members on the behaviours that constitute harassment and sexual misconduct.
The Ciphr eLearning team will also update the content of existing staff and student modules to ensure relevancy to the context of E6 and harassment and sexual misconduct more broadly.
Current modules include:
- Active Bystander
- Disclosure by Students
- Sexual Harassment in HE
- Harassment and Bullying
- Dignity and Respect at Work
- Student Bystander (funded by the OfS, specifically for the HE sector)
- Consent on Campus (created in collaboration with Rape Crisis)
- Student Induction
- Freedom of Speech
Ciphr eLearning has created two new, short overview modules one for staff and one for students titled ‘Harassment and Sexual Misconduct - How our University responds’.
A key feature in each module is a customisable page for each institution to add links to their E6-required Comprehensive Source of Information (CSI) and add other relevant information, approaches and documents for easy accessibility.
This suite will provide both staff and students with foundational information to build awareness and understanding of the new requirement and will support staff appropriately and proactively to respond to disclosure. Staff and student learners will be equipped with the strategies and tools to put awareness and responsibility into practice.
