A culture of safety, dignity and respect

Gender-based violence – whether physical, sexual, psychological, or facilitated through power imbalances – has no place in our community. 

The Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response Plan and Outcomes Framework outlines our commitment to creating a learning and working environment where every person is safe, respected, and able to participate fully in university life.

Our Action Plan is grounded in evidence, guided by lived experience, and strengthened by values of inclusion, innovation and social impact. 

It is underpinned by our Prevention of and Response to Gender-based Violence policy and procedure for staff and students.

Join us in building a culture where gender-based violence is never tolerated, and where safety, dignity, and respect are defining characteristics of the university experience.
