[9][14] Dr Anna Bull is running a HEFCE funded project examining university policies, involving focus groups who have experienced staff sexual misconduct.
[16] The 1752 Group are committed to developing research on sexual misconduct in higher education, and implementing UK-wide policy to protect students.
[17] Their strategic priorities include:[18] In 2011, the NUS' Women's Campaign published Hidden Marks, which found "students who had been subjected to a less serious sexual assault were least likely (< 2 %) to report either to the police or to the institution".
[19] The 1752 Group partnered with the National Union of Students to launch the first UK survey into staff sexual misconduct in higher education.
[21] It found that a third of universities have no policy on staff-student relationships, and as a result, less than 10% of students who experienced sexual harassment report the behaviour to their institutions.
