Following the release of the report on the National Student Safety Survey earlier this year, CAUL issued a response on behalf of all university libraries and committed to working collaboratively both within and across universities to ensure that university library spaces are safe for all students. In line with this commitment, CAUL has organised a virtual event for several universities to share initiatives that work towards the achievement of this goal.
