University residences should be doing everything possible to stop sexual violence on campus

I AGREE

New survey results: Which Uni residences are training to prevent sexual assault?

A 2017 study of sexual violence at Australian universities found that students living in university residences are more likely than other students to be sexually assaulted. It's one more reason residences should be doing everything possible to prevent sexual violence in their communities - including providing their students and staff with expert-led training in the area.

That's why Fair Agenda has contacted the 234 university residences across Australia with a survey asking what, if any, training they will provide to students and relevant staff in 2020. Find out which residences are training their students and staff in consent and preventing sexual violence using the arrows and search tools on the table below.

The table below summarises residences' key responses as at 18 February 2020. You can also view all residences' detailed responses to Fair Agenda's survey here, and you can read a summary and see trends of the overall results here.
