Rely for Higher Education

A safe, nurturing environment for learning

From pre-school to university, most students are educated in safe, happy and healthy environments. But unfortunately, some experience bullying, harassment and even abuse.

Rely helps higher education providers manage a broad range of issues, from student safety through to academic misconduct.

20% of uni students experience sexual assault but few report

The 2021 National Student Safety Report revealed nearly 20% have experienced sexual harassment since starting university. Issues are chronically under-reported with only 1/30 harassed and 1/20 assaulted making a formal complaint. The same study showed 1 in 2 know nothing or very little about the formal reporting process for harassment or assault.
