Overview
Universities UK is committed to tackling all forms of harassment at universities. This annual, highly-regarded national conference will explore recent developments and progress over the past year. It is the perfect chance to hear from sector-leading experts, as well as those with lived experience of violence, harassment and hate incidents. Topics we will be covering include:
