The Whole Institution Approach is a model developed by AVA researchers and prevention experts to support higher education institutions in preventing gender-based violence. The model identifies the different activities that need to be delivered in higher education settings to develop a whole institution approach to preventing gender-based violence, and considers the key players who need to be engaged – staff, students, leadership. This model is a robust and holistic approach to preventing gender-based violence, and is designed to promote real long-lasting change. The model applicable for universities has been adapted from AVA’s renowned Whole School Approach Model.
