Terms of Reference

The following questions set out the terms of reference for the review:

  • What policies, procedures and support arrangements are in place in the University which address gender-based violence, both in preventing it and in dealing with it when it arises?
  • How effective are the University’s policies, procedures and support arrangements in dealing with complaints and concerns related to gender-based violence?
  • What improvements might be made to the University’s policies, procedures and support arrangements in responding to gender-based violence?
  • What improvements might be made with a view to reducing gender-based violence?

In dealing with these issues, I will also be asking these questions:

  • To what extent do students have confidence in the University’s policies, procedures and support arrangements in relation to gender-based violence?
  • To what extent do staff have confidence in the University’s policies, procedures and support arrangements in relation to gender-based violence?
