Social Impact Dashboards
While the relationship between education and public purpose is fundamental to the higher education sector, robust models to gauge social impact are scarce.
By adding social impact measurement alongside research output and rankings in how we measure our success, the Social Impact Framework (SIF) holds us accountable for delivering tangible outcomes for people and communities.
Meanwhile our Social Impact Dashboards measure that impact by collating data that reflects our contributions to public good. We share this data openly with our staff, students and community.
