Survivors of abuse are being invited to take part in a short, anonymous survey on mandatory reporting, helping to inform future government policy on how mandatory reporting legislation is designed and implemented.
The survey seeks to capture the experiences and views of survivors of abuse, ensuring lived experience helps shape conversations around safeguarding and reporting responsibilities.
As debate continues about the future of mandatory reporting laws, survivor voices are considered an important part of understanding how policies may work in practice and what protections are needed.
The survey is brief, entirely anonymous, and open to survivors who would like to contribute their perspective.
Why Survivor Voices Matter in Mandatory Reporting Policy
Mandatory reporting remains a significant safeguarding issue, particularly around how concerns about abuse are identified, reported and acted upon. Survivor experiences can help policymakers better understand the realities of disclosure, barriers to reporting, and the support systems needed for those affected.
Those organising the survey are encouraging people to share it widely across relevant networks to ensure as many survivor voices as possible are heard.
