## What is this course about?

It can happen to anyone working in higher education: a student sends you an email saying that they are planning to commit suicide. Or in a fit of anger, a student threatens to commit violence or an attack.

Fortunately incidents like these don’t happen every day. But when they do, they can have a huge impact on both the student and the staff member. We have developed this course to help you recognise alarming behaviour, and learn how to deal with it and what your responsibilities are.

The course focuses on three categories of alarming behaviour:

##### - Behaviour that can lead to suicide

##### - Aggressive or violent behaviour

##### - Behaviour prompted by extremist ideas

| #### Structure

This course includes three practice-oriented modules, each focusing on one of the categories of behaviour listed above. You can choose to do the entire course from start to finish or use the menu on the left to go directly to any module or page you want.

| #### Duration

Each practice-based module takes about 20 minutes to complete. It will take you 2 to 2.5 hours to complete the practice-oriented modules and the foundation module.
