Building Safer Cultures: LimeCulture Invites Universities and HEIS to Express an Interest in new eLearning for Staff and Students

At LimeCulture, we believe that embedding safer cultures within universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is essential for creating environments where students and staff can thrive. A culture where expectations of behaviour are clear, inappropriate conduct is not tolerated, and responses to misconduct are swift, fair, and trauma-informed is no longer optional—it’s an expectation of any responsible institution. Most recently requirements have been explicit in the Office for Students (OfS) registration Condition E6: Harassment and Sexual Misconduct and in the Worker Protection Act  (2023) which places the responsibility on all employers to prevent sexual harassment of all employees including by third parties.

Expression of Interest Now Open

Following a fantastic consultation workshop with representatives from more than 20 institutions, we are now inviting universities and HEIs to express their interest in purchasing our new online training designed specifically for university staff and/or students.

Our eLearning training packages, set to launch in July 2025, will provide essential knowledge and tools to support universities/HEI  to more effectively prevent and respond to harassment and sexual misconduct.

Why This Matters

Trust in an institution’s culture—and its response when incidents occur—directly influences whether people feel safe to challenge inappropriate behaviours, report misconduct, and seek support. Institutions that prioritise safer cultures will create trust and accountability across their communities.

What the eLearning Offers

LimeCulture’s new online training will be informed by our extensive experience in preventing and responding to sexual misconduct and supporting HEIs in tackling these issues.

LimeCulture’s online training has been designed to:

Deliver credible, meaningful content tailored for large student and staff cohorts
Engage and empower participants with interactive materials designed by leading experts in tackling sexual misconduct
Equip your community to prevent and respond to harassment and sexual misconduct effectively
Align with your institution’s wider initiatives to create a safer culture including steps to address employers responsibility under the new Worker Protection Act (2023) duty
Fully comply with the new Office for Students (OfS) E6 regulations

Next Steps

If your institution is interested in purchasing our eLearning packages, we’d love to hear from you! Interested Universities and HEIs are invited to express an interest by completing this form  https://forms.gle/aSrPjA9rqx4yMKEp9 or emailing info@limeculture.co.uk.
