OfS sexual misconduct survey: AMOSSHE letter

On 22 April 2025 we wrote to the Office for Students (OfS) with members' feedback on the sexual misconduct survey.

The survey aims to get national insight into the prevalence of sexual misconduct in the English higher education sector. It covers student experiences of sexual harassment, sexual assault / violence and reporting sexual misconduct to providers. The survey is optional for students to complete, and they’re invited to take part once they’ve completed the National Student Survey (NSS).

Here's the letter:

The letter highlights members' concerns and recommendations for future iterations of the survey. It covers many aspects we addressed in our briefing to members published in January 2025.
