RCI leads partnerships and collaborations with a range of sectoral groups striving to prevent sexual violence and reduce its impact.
We contribute to statutory, non-statutory, academic, national and international bodies developing policy on sexual violence.
We lead collaboration on policy and training with Rape Crisis Centres and other sexual violence specialist organisations. Examples of our work include chairing of a coalition of charities working with children impacted by domestic and sexual violence and participation in a legal group within the European network Women against Violence Europe (WAVE). Other areas of focus include confidentiality, data protection and policies, laws and practices that affect survivors of sexual violence.

- Cuan consent forum
