A research project commissioned by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) appears to offer an opportunity to ensure that national understanding of criminal justice responses to rape is informed by men’s experiences. The commissioned research company ORS are seeking male interviewees to participate in research this autumn.

MSP have reviewed the suggested processes and agreed to publicise the research to member organisations, who may wish to share information with their service users and to support survivor participation. ORS have published brief information and contact details for further information on their website at https://www.ors.org.uk/surveys/hmicfrs2020/.

MSP have been sent several supporting documents for agencies, included with this post in a zip file. Members are particularly recommended to review the document “Additional information for gateway agencies”, which includes sections on informed consent, the planned interviews and safeguarding and support.
