Background
Since 2019 BCcampus has worked with the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills (PSFS) to support the B.C. post-secondary system with several initiatives to prevent and respond to sexual violence after the Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act was enacted in 2017.
Recently, the Government of B.C. released B.C.’s Sexual Violence Action Plan, which includes policy changes and highlights training resources that were developed in partnership with BCcampus. Through consultation with the post-secondary system, PSFS has identified other training to prevent and respond to sexual violence, including ways to support the implementation of training resources and updates to align existing training with commitments in the action plan.
Purpose
In partnership with PSFS, BCcampus is providing project management for the sexual violence prevention project, which focuses on updating existing resources, as well as providing supplemental resources (video/scenarios) on specific topics, including healthy masculinity, student housing, people living with disabilities, and LGBTQIA2S+ people.
This expression of interest is seeking to identify individuals, teams, or organizations who can work with the lead instructional designer and sexual violence subject matter expert on the development of specific scenarios and/or video resources to enhance existing sexual violence resources on the following topics:
- Consent and active bystander intervention
- Healthy masculinities — up to three scenarios/videos
- Housing — one scenario/video
- Supporting survivors
- LGBTQIAS2+ — one scenario/video
- People living with disabilities — two scenarios/videos
