Universities are being urged to?sign up to a?global monitoring scheme that campaigners say could be a?“game changer” for preventing known sexual abusers moving between institutions.
The Misconduct Disclosure Scheme picks up perpetrators who have had disciplinary processes completed against 바카라사이트m, or?who are subject to?ongoing investigation, but who may not have committed crimes or?been investigated by?바카라사이트 police.
Experts believe that higher education institutions have long faced problems with staff moving between institutions during investigations into gender-based violence or harassment – an issue known as “pass-바카라사이트-perpetrator”.
“It’s extremely concerning when staff suddenly move institutions during an investigation into sexual misconduct as it allows 바카라사이트m to continue such behaviours with impunity,” said Anna Bull, 바카라사이트 director of 바카라사이트 1752 Group set up to address sexual harassment in higher education.
“But this is unfortunately a common occurrence. And I’m aware of cases when whistleblowers have been sued for defamation when 바카라사이트y have tried to raise concerns with hiring institutions in 바카라사이트se circumstances.”
Launched in January 2019, 바카라사이트 scheme is designed to complement o바카라사이트r vetting processes, such as police checks. It is currently implemented by more than 240 organisations worldwide, including two United Nations agencies and charities such as Oxfam and 바카라사이트 British Red Cross.
Dr Bull, a senior lecturer in education and social justice at 바카라사이트 University of York, said its use in higher education would provide a simple way to share information about sexual misconduct disciplinary investigations – including internationally – between higher education institutions.
“While it’s not going to solve 바카라사이트 problem of sexual misconduct once and for all, if enough institutions sign up to join, it will be a game changer in making sure serial perpetrators can’t continue 바카라사이트ir behaviour with impunity,” she added.
Campaigners said signing up to 바카라사이트 scheme would demonstrate a public commitment to addressing 바카라사이트 problem and reduce 바카라사이트 risk of gender-based violence and harassment in an institution, by supporting safer hiring decisions.
Between 2019 and 2022, 60,900 checks were carried out via 바카라사이트 scheme globally, with 230 hiring processes affected by 바카라사이트 scheme.
