AVON and Somerset Police are looking for ways to improve the way that they process crimes such as rape and sexual assault.
In order to do this, victims of sexual offences are being urged to come forward and have their say in an anonymous survey, part of Operation Bluestone Soteria.
Questions will be asked about how the police handled the case and how they responded to the victim.
It is hoped that feedback, whether negative or positive, could help police improve.
How can the police process for victims/survivors of rape and other sexual offences be improved?

Victims/survivors of rape and other sexual offences are being invited to share their thoughts, via an anonymous survey, part of Operation Bluestone Soteria. https://t.co/0gGRqHJum1 pic.twitter.com/q1g6xjufKj
To take part in the survey, residents must be aged 18 or over and have a case which has been investigated by the UK police.
You don't have to answer every question and the survey should only take around 15 minutes to complete.
A participant information sheet will be available before you start which explains the purpose of the survey and what the police do with your data.
