Great session from @clarissajdh at the #studentcomplaintsWM digital conference - so many critical aspects to plan for and be aware of when undertaking sexual misconduct complaints. Professionalisation is essential @WMinsightUK
Really enjoyed delivering a session at the digital complaints conference #studentcomplaintsWM - great to be in the room with so many others interested in improving complaints processes
A great workshop with Sarah d’Ambrumenil @Cambridge_Uni, who’s been exploring how to handle academic appeals and complaints. Thank you for joining us and sharing your experiences Sarah! @Sarah_Ingram #StudentComplaintsWM

I have been thinking about this quite a lot & Laura puts it very well on her insta. It does not matter who the woman is or where she is going, what time of the day, what she is wearing or how she is acting. A woman has the right to be safe, to feel safe. Everywhere. At all times.
Interesting research in Australia about needing to focus on the perpetrator in order to reduce sexual offences, e.g. - 'x number of perpetrators raped women' rather than 'x number of women were raped'
Cambridge is looking for a new Senior Investigator for student conduct cases - £42-£53k details at jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/33038/ I'm on maternity leave ATM but any questions feel free to dm

Today I have launched a mapping survey for anyone who is over 16, in England + Wales who has experienced #DomesticAbuse over the last 3 years.
We need to reach as many survivors as possible over the next 8 weeks.
The survey is available here: bit.ly/3dqONEG
Evidence-based and research-based policy and practice is more effective! This research focuses on identifying perpetrators in unis - a critical jigsaw piece in reducing and preventing sexual violence in HE #breakingthesilence #HEpolicy #sexualmisconduct
So happy that my first first-author article with @tagannon1 was published OA today in @Sexual_Abuse_J 🤩
Our multi-study paper is the first to empirically assess the prevalence & psychological indicators of UK male university students’ recent violent sexual behaviours [1/n]

The Sexual Violence Research Group at University of Gloucestershire are conducting research into First Responses to Reporting Sexual Violence. This research is in response to the continued removal of Specialist Trained Officers in many Police Forces.

No matter what we've already done (and Cambridge is noted for having tried) we can always do more - together as a sector and as an institution - continuous improvement, using feedback from those engaged in the process and research from experts - like these!

Every time someone says that they have cut their hair with a beard trimmer (even if it turns out fine) all I can think of is the @frankturner lyric "... I've made that mistake before". #lockdownsongs #songadvice #pandemichaircuts
