MPhil PhD Welcome information

Complete your Consent.Ed training!

Our Consent.Ed programme gives you the tools you need to become an active bystander and make positive decisions about your relationships.

It is expected that you and everyone in the LSE community takes part in Consent.Ed. Level 1 and Level 2 should be completed by all students.

You will need to:

• Complete Level 1: your online training - before you arrive on campus.
• Complete Level 2: an in-person workshop that every PhD student in the Department of Statistics must attend.

Your Level 2 session takes place from 11.15am - 12.45pm on Tuesday 24 September 2024 in SAW 3.02 Hall-Carpenter. 

Level 2 sessions will form part of your departmental induction. This will be a 90-minute workshop attended alongside your department peers. In this session you will explore issues around sexual consent, providing an opportunity to discuss how we can look for one another and create a positive, respectful consent culture, where everyone feels safe on campus.
