On this page

    The Prevention in teaching and learning (PTL) resources have been designed to support action in the 'teaching and learning' domain of the Educating for equality framework, to support teaching and academic staff integrate prevention of gender-based violence concepts into teaching content and practice.  

    The PTL resources were formerly called Upksilling pre-service professionals (UPP) resources. Please note we are currently updating our documents to reflect this change. 

    Through curriculum design and teaching practice, universities can provide students with the skills and knowledge that will allow them to support the prevention of gender-based violence through their work and into their future careers.
