The hub has been developed by AVA in partnership with Universities UK and the NUS, as part of the #CombatMisconduct project. It is designed to support university students and staff to prevent and tackle sexual misconduct in higher education settings. The hub incorporates the expertise of students and university staff, providing tailored information, guidance and resources on sexual misconduct in higher education.
