The project aims to assess whether a survey could effectively measure the current prevalence of child abuse in the UK, highlighting a significant need in this area.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those specialising in social research and data analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore participation, given their capacity to provide innovative solutions in sensitive areas like child welfare. Companies with expertise in survey design, statistical analysis, and social impact assessment would be particularly well-suited to compete for future similar contracts.

## Notice

Child abuse is an appalling crime and can have a lasting effect. As there is no single source reporting the current scale of child abuse in the UK, we do not know how many children are experiencing abuse today. It is vital that statistics are improved to help measure the current prevalence of child abuse. The ONS Centre for Crime and Justice are conducting a feasibility study, to determine whether a survey to measure the current prevalence of child abuse in the UK could be effective.
