Sexual harassment and assaults on university campuses are to be tackled by students at Cardiff University.

The Lad Culture Pilot Scheme has been launched by the National Union of Students (NUS) after a study found a quarter of all students have endured unwanted sexual advances

Students' unions from nine universities are taking part in the scheme.

Each university will build its own strategy and share best practice with the other students' unions.

The Hidden Marks report, carried out by the NUS, found almost 70% of female students had been subject to verbal or physical sexual harassment.

And 14% had experienced serious physical or sexual assault.

Oxford University, Kings College London, London School of Economics, University of Warwick, Leeds University, Queen Mary's University London, University of Sussex and University of Bradford are also taking part.
