Broken Rainbow and Eighteen & Under (both registered charities) are producing a youth and LGBT youth domestic violence online survey:
We are looking into domestic abuse prevalence and rates data exists but is limited with regard to specific minority groups, eg, LGBT.
The survey will target all respondents between 18-25 years of age and gather data on their experience and awareness of domestic violence. At the end of the questionnaire (10 to 15 min to complete it), if they want to, respondents can be entered into a FREE PRIZE DRAW and grab their chance to win an Apple iPod Shuffle 1GB or a pop up Quechua 2 Seconds Tent! Third prize is a £10 Amazon voucher.
This online survey is funded by Nationwide Foundation and we are working with the NUS to promote it.
It is designed to identify the:
* if young people get education or awareness training about domestic violence at school
* prevalence rate of domestic violence
* impact of the domestic violence
* at what age respondents first experienced domestic violence
* extent to which identity is a factor in and affects the experience of domestic violence; (e.g. LGBT, ethnic minority, young person)
* extent to which they report the domestic violence
* responses of agencies to reported incidents
* gaps in the provision of services that users have identified
* interventions may have been useful at the time of experiencing domestic violence
