Do you feel confident to support students who have experienced sexual
violence? Do you know how to best respond and where to refer the person
for support if needed?

Responding to Disclosures of Sexual Violence is an interactive and
comprehensive course for first responders. It will help you to develop
the skills to respond appropriately, empathetically and confidently.

What will I learn? The Responding to Disclosures course will help you
to:  - Demonstrate an awareness of the issues and initiatives available
around sexual violence, both at UWA and in wider society - Define what
constitutes consent and identify the legal definitions of sexual
offences in Western Australia - Dispel common myths and misconceptions
around sexual violence - Explain the different support and reporting
options available at UWA and externally - Demonstrate best practices for
responding to a disclosure and apply these in line with UWA policies,
procedures and services - Recognise when you (the responder) may need
support in dealing with a disclosure

Who would benefit most from this course? Although all members of the UWA
Community are welcome to complete this free course, frontline student
support staff and student leaders are particularly encouraged to
complete it.

This includes:

- Counselling and UniAccess staff - Security and Library staff - Student
Advisers and Student Experience Officers - Guild student leaders such as
Guild Council, Club and Society Executive - Students managing events -
UniMentors - Sports Captains - Residential Advisers (RAs) - Residential
College staff
