In 2021, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) made a commitment in the Rape Review Action Plan to conduct “targeted research with rape victims to better understand their experiences and what they want from support services so that future provision meets need”.
To meet this commitment and to fully inform the recommissioning of the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASAF), MOJ analysts and external contractors undertook 3 strands of research:
- A literature review of existing evidence
- A self-selecting survey conducted with adult victim-survivors
- Qualitative research with disabled adult victim-survivors
The methodology, findings and recommendations have been outlined in the following 4 reports:
- Formal support needs of adult victim-survivors of sexual violence: A summary of findings and recommendations from the Ministry of Justice’s research programme
- Formal support needs of adult victim-survivors of sexual violence: A literature review of existing evidence
- Formal support needs of adult victim-survivors of sexual violence: Survey findings
- Formal support needs of disabled adult victim-survivors of sexual violence: Qualitative research report
An easy read version of the research report on ‘Formal support needs of disabled adult victim-survivors of sexual violence: Qualitative research report’ is also available.
