520 _aAcross international jurisdictions and New Zealand, it is widely evidenced that young people are disproportionately affected by sexual harm and those with existing vulnerabilities (disability, socioeconomic disadvantage, mental health issues, and previous experience of abuse) are likely to be at increased risk. Yet despite this evidence, there appears to be a shortfall in provision of sexual harm crisis support services specifically. This is of concern because young people engage with services in quite a different manner to adults and children and they require services that are developmentally appropriate. It is within this context Aviva commissioned an independent research and evaluation company, Lebern and Associates, to assemble an empirical and experiential evidence base to contribute to the design and implementation of a sexual harm crisis support service for young people in Canterbury. A proactive research design, enhanced with a theory of change, was selected for the research project. A mixed methods approach was adopted using in-depth interviews, document review and a literature review. Using the Framework Model, the qualitative data was collated in a thematic framework and interpreted and synthesised into general understandings. This data and the empirical evidence were triangulated to enhance the internal validity of the findings. (From the Executive summary). Background: In March 2020, Aviva's Sexual Assault Support Service Canterbury (SASSC) team received funding from the Vodafone Foundation to commission two pieces of work to better understand and respond to the needs of youth who have experienced sexual assault. These were completed in November 2021. This included an academic research project including a literature review and primary research to establish what constitutes international best practice, and a co-design project to engage Aviva staff and clients to capture and better understand the present and past experiences of youth engaged in sexual harm support services. The latter being aspirational in nature in terms of what a future service specifically catering to youth could look like. (From the website). See also related project documents). Record #7420
