As part of a government funded Safer Streets project, Canterbury Christ Church University is conducting research with students in Kent and Medway.
The research aims to gain a better understanding of the experiences of students in relation to spiking, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual violence and sexual misconduct. The insights gained from this study will enable us to be better able to tackle such incidences within our communities and ensure that we are building a safer environment for all.
We are keen to ensure that we authentically capture the voices of all students and as such, we encourage everyone from all backgrounds (men, women, non-binary, ethnically diverse/minortised communities, LGBTQ+ communities, individuals with a disability) to share their experiences and thoughts.
Please note that some questions within this survey will include sensitive information and ask personal questions about your experiences in relation to spiking, stalking, sexual misconduct and sexual violence. If you find these distressing, we would prefer that you do not continue with the survey and you can exit the survey at any point. Also, remember you can use our online Report and Support Tool to connect with our Studnet Wellbeing Team if you need emotional support or guidance on any harassment or sexual misconduct you have witnessed or experienced.
The survey is anonymous and your responses will be confidential. As a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw to win Love2Shop (or similar) vouchers (20x £30).
