Everyone’s Safer project

In September 2021, the KPMG Foundation supported us with funding in collaboration with the University of Surrey to undertake a three-year action research project with four main goals:

  • to support schools when a harmful sexual behaviour incident occurs and ensure all invovled are support well
  • to ensure schools benefit from the experience of others
  • to help statutory agencies understand key issues schools face so they can provide better support
  • to share evidence from the project which can contribute to the body of knowledge around tacking and responding to harmful sexual behaviour
