RASA Merseyside conducted a review of the Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (RASA) service for male survivors of sexual abuse, this involved exploring the services available to support male victims and survivors and the new framework for working with make victims and survivors. The research explored the characteristics and help seeking behaviours of male survivors; service provision, use and engagement for male survivors of sexual violence within RASA; the outcomes for male survivors accessing the service; and views on the quality standards for male service provision and if and how they relate to RASA service provision and perceived needs of males survivors accessing RASA.
