This survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated in this important survey.
The results of the survey can be found under Sexual Violence Survey.
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) applied the name of Safety of the Person to the Sexual Violence Survey. This survey was delivered under a different name to protect the confidentiality of respondents and followed best practise for such sensitive surveys. It is a sensitive survey, which aims to assess the prevalence of a range of unwanted sexual experiences that a person may or may not have had in their lifetime, including sexual harassment, stalking and other types of sexual abuse.
Further documentation on the survey including supporting documentation for respondents can be found in the survey’s quality report.
A Transparency Notice is available for the study.
