We thank all the students who will complete the pilot and the full national survey for taking part in this important work. We also acknowledge victims and survivors of violence. You are the reason we are undertaking this important work.
It’s important to test if survey participants understand the questions asked and concepts being explored. This is best practice to ensure the full survey is as reliable as possible.

No. Because the pilot is designed to test the survey questions and processes, the data will not be analysed or released. Data collected will remain completely anonymous and confidential.
