Case Study
University Residential Colleges.
When RespectX is introduced in university residential communities, leaders gain an access to insights they've never had before. Accurate baseline prevalence data and trust and safety metrics allow colleges to understand the full picture and measure genuine progress over time.
Accurate robust data:
- Higher student response rates. Compared to just 11.6% in the 2021 National Student Safety Survey (NSSS), RespectX dramatically increases participation, delivering more reliable data.
- Accurate prevalence data. As compared to the 19% sexual harassment rates (NSSS 2021) across the entire student accommodation sector.
- First of its kind data. RespectX is the only platform that collect accurate data on bullying and discrimination rates.
- Cultural risk factors. Understand a range of cultural indicators that lead to bad behaviour.
“RespectX was a no-brainer - this is something that's very empowering not just for our students but for our staff. It's a brilliant tool that's going to become increasingly relevant not just in our industry but across Australia more broadly.”
