ECU is committed to ensuring we provide a respectful, inclusive and safe environment for staff and students. Understanding basic concepts around consent, communication and respect is vital and our online training program, Consent Matters, equips you with this knowledge to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.
We recognise that creating safe communities is a shared responsibility and we therefore strongly encouraged all ECU students to complete Consent Matters.
Students should complete this within their first teaching period as this module sets out many the expectations and values that ECU has regarding appropriate behaviour.
Consent Matters is an innovative, at-your-own-pace, e-learning module that explores the nature of sexual consent. It will advise you how to seek consent, how to recognise it and how to identify situations where it can’t be given.
Using activities, quizzes and relatable character scenarios, it highlights the importance of good communication, clear boundaries and mutual respect. Within the context of social norm and bystander intervention theory, you will learn how to recognise difficult situations and possible ways of stepping in if others need help.
Students can access Consent Matters via the following link. You can log in using your student ID and password.
You need to complete all three modules of Consent Matters and achieve 80% or higher in all quizzes in order to pass.
If you're interested in learning more, please don't stop here – there is more to see, hear, and do. Check out our website for more information about sexual assault, sexual harassment and assisting others.
We recognise that Consent Matters may be challenging for some people, especially if they have been impacted by sexual harassment and/or assault.
If this is the case for you, and you are required to complete Consent Matters as a part of an ECU program, please email either your unit or program coordinator or equity@ecu.edu.au to opt out.
