Survey of sexual misconduct

The 2025 questionnaire will be a shortened version of the pilot survey we tested in 2023 and will ask 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 will carefully flag sensitive questions and students will be able to skip those questions, sections or choose not to take part. 

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