Guide: Reporting to the Royal Commission on Sexual Abuse
The Network for Survivors of Abuse in Faith-based Institutions has published a guide for survivors who want to report to the Royal Commission.
From our people
On this page you will find content such as poems and stories from those who have become a part of Male Support Services Waikato. We thank you for generously sharing your moments with us.
From The Police
Police have produced a series of videos for victims of sexual assault that outlines what is involved in reporting a sexual assault to them. We collaborated with various support agencies in creating these videos and our goal is that they become a useful resource, are widely shared and of course reach victims and others who can benefit most from this information.
Library
Please click the above link to view a comprehensive book list which will hopefully cover an area specific to your need.

Lodging sexual assault claims with the police
The website has sections on:
- Sexual assault and consent
- Effects of sexual assault
- What can I do if I have been sexually assaulted
- Myths and facts
- Effects of sexual assault
- Victims’ rights
- Useful links
- Safety advice
- Feedback
The site provides a single place where members of the public can find out information on how to report a sexual assault and where to get specialist support.
A key aspect of the website is the ‘Feedback’ section where victims of sexual assault can complete a short survey to provide feedback to Police on specific areas of the investigation, from how they were treated when they first spoke to Police, through to the ongoing investigation and the final result.
Victims are also able to provide feedback on the support and communication that they were provided with throughout their dealings with Police. The survey may be completed anonymously.

Questions like …– What is porn teaching us about sex?– Is porn a good sex educator?– Can watching porn change how we think and behave?
