What is SARG?

Students at Risk Group applies the Students at Risk Framework to support the identification and case management of students presenting with serious risk of harm to self and/or others. It is intended to complement existing University policies, procedures and activities established to foster and maintain the wellbeing and safety of students, staff and other members of the UniSA community. 

SARG Framework

The Students at Risk Framework (the Framework) supports the University's responsibility to mitigate and manage risk, as stipulated in the Student Critical Incident Policy, Critical Incident Procedure, and the University's Strategic Crisis Management Framework. The aims of this framework are to ensure students presenting with or posing risk to self and/or others are identified early, supported and managed in a coordinated manner. This is achieved by ensuring student incidents are investigated at the Program and Academic Unit levels in the first instance, in line with existing University policies. The SARG intervenes in instances where attempts to address issue(s) at the local level have been unsuccessful or risks to community safety have escalated to a serious level because of a student's behaviour or conduct, including matters involving students which sit outside of the Sexual Harm Policy and Procedure, in accordance with breaches to the Code of Conduct for Students, to the SARG for intervention and/or case management.
