Survey of sexual misconduct

The 2025 questionnaire is a shortened version of the pilot survey we tested in 2023 and asks students about their experiences of sexual misconduct and sexual harassment while at university or college.

In developing the questionnaire, we've carefully considered research ethics and drawn on international best practice in prevalence surveys in higher education.

We have consulted with students to test the comprehension and readability of the questions and their suitability for a wide audience.

The questionnaire carefully flags sensitive questions and students are able to skip those questions, sections or choose not to take part. 

The survey also contains links to national support services, and local support from providers where available.
