This freedom of speech training takes 30 minutes to complete.
Freedom of speech training built for the OfS duty
Free speech complaints don't wait for a policy review. Under the Office for Students' (OfS) freedom of speech condition, universities and colleges have to show how they protect lawful speech on campus. Simply publishing a policy doesn't cut it anymore.
This course describes staff and students the legislation, the history and the practical steps behind the duty, so no one on your campus has to guess where the line sits.
Built for the reality of higher education
Generic compliance content doesn't hold up against a duty this specific. This course is written for higher education, with scenarios, case studies and legislation that match what your institution faces. It's available for customisation too: add your own branding, policies and photography, or ask for a version built around your specific procedures.
