Learning Disabilities and Autism Toolkit
We have developed a toolkit for supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people who have experienced sexual violence.
The creation of the toolkit was funded by the Three Guineas Trust and the Somerset Discovery Fund, managed by the Somerset Community Foundation.

Recognising signs of abuse
There are many reasons why someone might find it difficult to talk about an experience of sexual assault or abuse so it’s important to recognise some of the signs that someone may have been affected by sexual violence.
Responding to disclosures
Rape and sexual violence are traumatic events that can have profound psychological, physical, and emotional impacts.
Autistic people and people with learning disabilities may have additional barriers that prevent them from being able to talk about what has happened to them.
