Case Study: Robert Gordon University improves reporting and support for gender-based violence with Culture Shift's Report + Support

Robert Gordon University boosts student reporting confidence to 70% with Culture Shift

Robert Gordon University, a public research university in Scotland, was concerned about rising gender-based violence incidents on campus and sought to improve its reporting pathways and support services. To address this challenge, the university partnered with Culture Shift to implement its Report + Support™ platform as a central part of its new proactive strategy.

Culture Shift's solution provided an easy-to-use online platform for reporting, which was launched alongside a comprehensive awareness campaign and staff training. The results were significant, with surveyed student confidence in reporting such incidents rising from less than 10% to 70%. The data collected by Culture Shift also allowed the university to identify a continued lack of understanding around consent, enabling them to create targeted educational materials and extend the successful initiative to also address hate crime, harassment, and bullying.
