Universities UK established the Taskforce in 2015. It met four times over a 12-month period and considered a vast range of evidence from individual universities, the National Union of Students and other organisations including Rape Crisis, Tell MAMA, the Union of Jewish Students and Stonewall.
The report includes a number of case studies from individual universities as well as links to key support agencies that can assist students who have experienced violence, harassment or hate crime.
These guidelines were drafted following evidence to suggest that the existing guidance in this area was no longer wholly relevant.
