Webinar on Standard 3: Knowledge and capability

The National Higher Education Code to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence sets national standards and requirements for providers to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, including in student accommodation.

Standard 3 sets clear requirements for higher education providers to increase knowledge on gender-based violence and build prevention and response capability for staff, students, and leaders.

Standard 3 focuses on building institutional capability through comprehensive trauma-informed education and training for students, staff and leadership, tailored communication initiatives, and ensuring staff responding to disclosures and undertaking risk assessments, investigations and disciplinary procedures have the necessary expertise and experience to fulfil their roles.
