The Respect.Now.Always Advisory Committee held its first meeting of the year on 26 April.
The committee meets three times a year and its objective is to oversee the implementation of activities and projects across the university in relation to safety from sexual assault, sexual harassment and child protection, as approved by the Vice-Chancellor and President.
In February 2022, ACU introduced a centralised online reporting form to streamline reports of sexual harassment and sexual assault, and to promote greater accessibility, consistency, and transparency in reporting and access to support services.
Students can use the form to make a report, and staff can use the form to make a report regarding a student. The report form is accessible on the ACU public website and via the student portal.
In Semester 2 ACU will launch a new Safety Support Network of specially trained staff who will provide vital support to any student who has experienced sexual assault, sexual harassment, family or domestic violence, inappropriate behaviour, or who is experiencing suicidal ideation. The Safety Support Network will also work to assist staff who are supporting a student.
ACU recognises that providing caring, non-judgemental support will help to improve the recovery of students who have experienced trauma, and will contribute to student retention.
Staff are invited to submit an expression of interest to join the Safety Support Network.
