Abstract

This qualitative research with disabled victim-survivors of sexual violence has been carried out as part of a wider research programme in the context of a public commitment in the Rape Review Action Plan. The aim of this research was to present findings and recommendations that can help to inform recommissioning of the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund to help ensure that it meets the needs of all victim-survivors. To be able to deliver this, the research aimed to explore the following questions:
Q1: What do disabled sexual violence victim-survivors want from victim support services?
Q2: What do they consider to be effective in helping them (a) engage with the criminal justice process and (b) cope and recover from the crime?
Q3: How can sexual violence victim support services become more inclusive?
