Continuing the Conversation: Responding to Domestic Violence and Technology Mediated Abuse in Higher Education Communities during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Universities UK
This is Universities UK's (UUK's) second briefing on responding to domestic violence and technology mediated abuse in the higher education sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Universities should already have, or be in the process of developing, policies and practices to support their staff and students experiencing domestic and technology-mediated abuse. However, COVID-19 has resulted in significant changes to higher education which have impacted the way universities can support those who have experienced domestic abuse. Changes to student living arrangements have also occurred with some students returning to their parental home and others such as international students, care leavers or estranged students remaining in, or moving into university accommodation. Alongside these developments, there have been significant increases in the levels of domestic and technology-mediated abuse in society. The briefing includes: (1) key messages from UUK's webinars on domestic abuse and tech-mediated abuse; (2) case studies to illustrate the range of responses, strategies and approaches adopted by universities to respond to the increased risk of domestic violence and tech-mediated abuse during the pandemic; and (3) signposting to further helplines and information, including a suite of resources highlighting support helplines which institutions can use in their awareness raising activities. [For the first briefing, "Beginning the Conversation: Responding to Domestic Violence and Abuse in Higher Education Communities during COVID-19 Pandemic," see ED606041.]
