Webinar on Standard 6: Data, Evidence and Impact

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 6 aims to strengthen data collection systems and expand the evidence on the incidence of gender-based violence within and across higher education providers and ensure that prevention and response efforts are data and evidence informed.

Standard 6 outlines three different types of data which can be collected and reported on under the National Code. The first is process data which relates to the implementation of policies, procedures, plans and related activities. The second is deidentified data on incidents of gender-based violence. And the third is deidentified demographic data of disclosers and respondents including enrolment or employment characteristics.
