UCL is proud to host the Calling Time on Sexual Misconduct Conference to share global best-practice on sexual misconduct prevention in higher education.

Sexual misconduct and harassment have been long-standing issues for higher education institutions. However, there has been increased focus and momentum building across countries to effectively address and prevent such issues for students and staff.

The purpose of this conference is to facilitate a global conversation on best-practice and key learnings in implementing policies and projects within higher education settings. This is a global issue that requires a global response. While universities are not unique in the prevalence of these issues, they are uniquely-placed to ensure an effective and holistic response.

The conference will focus on the following themes:

• Moving beyond policies: examining primary prevention interventions and learnings and building a culture of belief
• Intersectional experiences: understanding the overlapping of systems of oppression and the impact on members of a university community to identify necessary solutions.
• Not a moment, it’s a movement: Creating sustainable change and building networks of allies and bystanders.
