The Safe Schools Hub (SSH) is underpinned by the National Safe Schools Framework and funded by the Australian Government working in collaboration with state and territory governments, government and non-government school sectors and Education Services Australia. 

The SSH provides the tools and knowledge to assist all members of the school community to: 

• nurture student responsibility and resilience
• build a positive school culture
• foster respectful relationships and learning environments; and support students who are impacted by anti-social behaviour, including bullying and cyberbullying.

This study evaluated how successfully the Safe Schools Hub (SSH) resource provides digital resource coverage for the National Safe Schools Framework (NSSF) by exploring: 

• who uses the resource; why and how is it being used
• the technical considerations such as navigability and discoverability of the website;
• suggestions for future improvements.

This evaluation employed a Convergent Parallel Mixed Method research design. The enabled the concurrent collection of different, but complementary data from a range of stakeholders about the purpose, activities, and outcomes associated with the SSH. Following quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis, findings were merged to provide an evidence-base to inform future development and directions of the SSH. 

This report makes 16 recommendations. 

The evaluation was commissioned by Education Services Australia for the Australian Government Department of Education and Training.
