The University of Leicester wants to do more to support students who are sex workers. They’ve recently launched a student sex worker policy and toolkit to ensure staff don’t “give moral judgment.” The professor behind the initiative said on the BBC: “We’re talking about inclusive learning, we’re talking about not discriminating against somebody, not being judgemental if you find out your student’s doing sex work, or they’ve been outed or being blackmailed.”
The university will be launching its Student Sex Worker Policy and Toolkit, which has been created with the help of the Student Support Services and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion teams. “The policy and toolkit at Leicester will be used to showcase how these sensitive issues can be tackled with student well-being and inclusivity at the heart of policy and practice development,” the event website about the launch read. “The point is really that sex work is generally legal, it’s a legal activity between two consenting adults and universities are not there to give moral judgment in relation to what people do.”
