📲 The OPCC (Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner) have asked us to share their survey which seeks to gain an understanding of specialist sexual violence services from those with lived experience in Gloucestershire. The findings from this will be used to inform and enhance current specialist sexual violence provision.
The survey contains some questions that may be triggering so please take care when answering.
This survey will close on Tuesday 21st May at 12pm.
To access the survey please follow the link in bio 🔗
