You are expected to attend both sessions as part of your induction activities in your academic department.
Trigger Warning - please note that these workshops contain information and discussion around sexual violence and racial discrimination. You are welcome to leave the session at any point if you feel uncomfortable and are encouraged to contact support@sheffield.ac.uk if you would like support.

These concepts are then discussed by students through a number of scenarios.
