Animation- How the police can make responses to sexual violence more inclusive

How the police can make responses to sexual violence more inclusive. A co-designed animation.

This animation explains how police officers can make their response to sexual violence more inclusive. The animations explain what victim-survivors with learning disabilities and/or autistic or neurodivergent victim-survivors would find helpful when reporting sexual violence to the police. The animation is based on lived experience of reporting.

These animations were co-designed by academics from Durham and Sunderland universities with experts by experience- DIVAS and the Women’s Centre Cornwall, Us Too and Association for Real Change (ARC- England). The animations were co-created as part of the research project Towards Inclusive Responses to Sexual Violence, which was funded by the Economic Social Research Council.
