Final Report
Project Protocol
Researchers from St Mary’s SARC and the University of Manchester are carrying out research into the long-term support needs of sexual abuse survivors. They want to learn more about what sexual abuse survivors need in the months following the assault so that services can be created to better help victims.
Anyone aged 18 or over who has attended St Mary’s SARC can take part. Participants are asked to fill in an online questionnaire which takes about 20 minutes. The questions are all multiple choice, asking participants about the support they are getting and would like. Those who take part are offered a £20 shopping voucher for their time.
