DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
Director’s message I am delighted to introduce the first annual report from the Suffolk Institute for Social and Economic Research (SISER). The pages that follow offer exciting examples, case studies and outcomes of engaging research undertaken in collaboration with statutory and nonstatutory agencies. Our aim? To foster change and improve our understanding of society’s pressing issues. SISER is becoming renowned for its distinctive, impactful and innovative research in its specialist fields. I am pleased that we can now build upon the excellent research reflected in this report with the implementation of the universitywide Transforming Lives: Research and Scholarly Activity Strategy, as well as focusing on our long-term growth and sustainability.

RESEARCH CENTRES
1 Centre for Digital Rights The Centre for Digital Rights, headed by Professor Andy Phippen, is a multidisciplinary centre incorporating aspects of sociology, computer science, criminology and law to consider the role online media plays in our lives, how emergent technology impacts social behaviour, and how society responds in its efforts to control and regulate online behaviour. Built upon over 30 years research expertise in the field by centre leads, the Centre bases its research direction and philosophy upon a sound empirical basis to understand how rights develop and evolve in a digital and post-digital age.
The Centre incorporates input from practitioners at the forefront of online ethics and rights, with a flourishing PhD community of researchers exploring areas such as online coercion and control, dataveillance and online safeguarding. The Centre works collaboratively with leading edge NGOs such as the UK Safer Internet Centre, Marie Collins Foundation, Open Rights Group and the South West Grid for Learning. Alongside various NGOs, the Centre has produced research reports, ‘think pieces’ and policy analysis both nationally and internationally to challenge practice and disrupt the status quo.
Current research and policy activities beyond the PhD programme include: n Police Response to Youth Offending Around the Generation and Distribution of Indecent Images of Children and its Implications; research conducted for the Marie Collins Foundation in Spring 2019 by Professor Andy Phippen and Professor Emma Bond n Understanding the role of Outcome 21 recording in the criminalisation of children and young people (September 2019) n How the Higher Education Sector tackles online harassment and abuse (October 2019) n Addressing the rights of adults with mental capacity issues and their online rights (October 2019) n 10 years of online safety policy and practice in schools: how has the landscape changed and how this impacts upon children and young people (January 2020) n Autism and Voice Activated Technology: Investigating user experiences of Amazon Echo Dot.

•
Identify and develop key research priorities/areas, and collaborative research partnerships
•
Share high quality local, national and international research at relevant regional domestic abuse boards
•
Support the development of research and evaluation capacity for voluntary organisations and statutory agencies
•
Support the creation of an active virtual network where relevant knowledge is regularly shared and discussed.
DARNet’s events aim to educate, inspire and transform conversations around domestic abuse issues and related areas. The co-creation and co-design of pressing questions are at the heart of the initiative. Sharing research, practice and learning highlights, the value of building a research network on domestic violence and abuse is in its community, where people can share ideas and learn from one another. Regular conversations about DARNet’s work take place within its communities of interest who either support victims and survivors of domestic abuse or are survivors themselves (for example, DARNet’s membership steering group includes a survivor of domestic abuse).

professional development opportunities.
The Centre is based upon the successful and high profile work of interdisciplinary academics across the university, and it’s their efforts that make the Centre such a lively, collaborative and ambitious space. Subsequently, the Centre’s looking to build on its successful International Children and Childhoods Conference (2013, 2015, and 2017), its online journal Childhood Remixed, and a growing community of post-graduate and doctoral students.
Its aim is to extend theoretical, ethical, and methodological conversations into new territories that can inform contemporary practice, policy and academic debate. The Centre also aims to bring together the diverse disciplines that explore children’s lives, including sociology, health studies, disability studies, social policy, education, anthropology, and psychology.
Current research and policy activities beyond the PhD programme include:
New Graduate Practitioner Competencies introduced to BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies As a membership organisation of the Early Childhood Studies Degree Network, our Early Childhood Studies team is proud to introduce the Graduate Practitioner Competencies to students who choose to follow the practice route. The competencies have been developed to verify the quality of the Early Childhood Studies course and to confirm the assessed practice placement that students undertake throughout their degree. Our Early Childhood Graduate Practitioners will be advocates for young children’s rights and participation, while recognising that young children are co-constructors of their own learning. They will critically apply high-level academic knowledge of pedagogy and research evidence, to the holistic development of infants and young children (0-8), in a practice context that is respectful of the child, their family and community.
Related impact to date: One hundred delegates from 22 countries visited the university for the two-day Children and Childhoods Conference in July 2019. Current students and alumni attended the conference as presenters, delegates and volunteers. Overall feedback was very positive, praising the content and high standard of conference papers, the warm welcome and the university as a whole. At least 10 delegates have since submitted abstracts for consideration to be included in the Childhood Remixed online journal.

education institutions to self-review their online safeguarding practice and improve it.
Authored by Professors Emma Bond and Andy Phippen, the open access toolkit was developed as part of the Office for Students Catalyst funded programme to support good practice in safeguarding students. The toolkit focuses on tackling sexual violence, hate crime and online harassment, and is designed for higher
Together with Katie Tyrrell, who is an invited member of the Office for Students Safeguarding and Welfare Expert Advisory Panel, Emma and Andy have delivered keynote speeches and facilitated workshops at a number of national conferences, including those hosted by UUK; Office for Students; British Computer Society; Wonkfest; JISC and Pincent Mason.
Their blog for Wonkhe (‘Being digital natives won’t protect students from online abuse’) was nominated for the Student Experience award at Wonkfest this year. Emma and Andy contributed to the UUK publication ‘Tackling Online Harassment and Promoting Online Welfare’ and were also commissioned by Epigeum (part of Oxford University Press) to write a course on online safety as part of the new Being Well, Living Well flexible online toolkit forthcoming in 2020.
Their research with universities on online harassment and safeguarding has been developed further this year to include a detailed analysis of policies, reporting of cases and staff training from two FOI requests to UK HEIs. The report, published in 2019 and featured in the Guardian, showed that the UK Higher Education sector was ill-equipped to tackle the online harassment of students in their care and were only dealing with very low numbers of reported cases.
Also appearing in the “i” was a report on the use of Outcome 21 across police forces in the UK, a report commissioned by the Marie Collins Foundation earlier in 2019. The research found that police forces are still criminalising children and young people for sending selfgenerated indecent images (sometimes children younger than 14) and the new Outcome 21 practice is being applied disproportionately across forces, in some cases in far higher numbers than criminal charges. This raises serious concerns about the wrongful use of a practice intended to reduce the number of young people who ended up with a criminal record as a result of selfproducing indecent images. The report can be found here: https://www.uos.ac.uk/sites/www. uos.ac.uk/files/FOI-Report-FinalOutcome-21_2.pdf Working with Enable Law, Andy and Emma have been providing workshops to develop an awareness of social media use and the digital rights of those suffering learning disabilities and mental capacity issues, while highlighting how legal safeguarding duties should be balanced with a right to a full life. They have recently started new research with Cambridgeshire County Council investigating social care professionals’ experiences of working with people with a learning disability to safely engage online.
They have published six articles for Entertainment Law Review this year, and a report for the South West Grid for Learning on the impact of the Momo fake suicide game on children and young people: n Fare Thee Well Age Verification, You Will Not Be Missed n Teaching Online Safety in School Guidance – New Non-Statutory Guidance from the Department for Education Leaves Much to be Desired n The Online Harms Spearmint Paper – Just More Doing More? n Aldi ‘Teatime Takedown’ – Are Data Breaches and Online Abuse the Best Ways to get Children to Come Down for Dinner? n When Digital Ghost Stories Go Viral n Why Is Placing the Child at the Centre of Online Safeguarding So Difficult? They have a book entitled ‘Organisational Responses to Social Media Storms – An Applied Analysis of Modern Challenges’ to be published by Palgrave in 2020 and two other chapters also forthcoming, namely: ‘Effective Strategies for Information Literacy Education: Combating “Fake News”’, in D. Baker and L. Ellis (Eds.)

Their national study of police understanding, and knowledge of revenge pornography legislation and investigative procedures received national interest, featuring on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Look East and Take a Break
As a result of conducting the research, Emma and Katie also contributed toward the development of training videos for abuse lawyers in a large London law firm in 2019, within which they discussed their research and implications for victims of image-based sexual abuse.
Revenge Pornography Helpline The Revenge Pornography Helpline was set up in February 2015 to provide advice, support and practical help for victims. This evaluation by Professor Emma Bond and Dr Cristian Dogaru has presented an analysis of the first 13 months of activity for the Revenge Pornography Helpline. At the time of the evaluation (February-March, 2016) the Revenge Pornography Helpline had offered individualised support and advice and provided practical help in trying to get online images and videos removed from websites and a variety of social media. We did a second evaluation of the Revenge Pornography Helpline, in March 2018. The Principal Investigators were Professor Emma Bond and Katie Tyrrell. This evaluation has presented an analysis of 12 months of activity for the Revenge Pornography
Helpline from April 2017-March 2018. The quantitative and qualitative data reflects a highly successful service in providing specialist advice, signposting and legal support in removing online content. The combination of practical and emotional support ensures a holistic and individualistic service which meets the needs of victims of image-based sexual abuse.

Focus on Survivors: Improving services for child sexual abuse survivors (2015-2020) Our long-standing partnership with Survivors in Transition began in 2015 and has yielded groundbreaking research and vital knowledge on CSA survivors’ experiences of services. In 2018, Professor Emma Bond conducted in-depth interviews with survivors to ascertain their personal experiences of services and journeys towards effective intervention, and produced the study Focus on Survivors 2 – “I’ll be a survivor for the rest of my life”. The focus of this study was initially broadly based on the main findings from the Focus on Survivors national online survey (see Smith et al., 2015). This survey identified that the satisfaction with services for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse was closely related to basic qualities in the way services treated survivors – namely, feeling listened to, believed and respected. The study based on the online survey concluded, “poor service can have a long-term impact and represent a barrier to support for survivors. In contrast, a good service response can result in survivors coming to a point of recovery or resolution sooner”. Following on from these findings in this under-researched area, Emma’s team undertook a qualitative study based on in-depth life biography style interviews with 28 adult survivors of child sexual abuse who volunteered to share their experiences of support services. This approach facilitated a deeper understanding of survivors’ experiences on the path to effective support.
This work was launched at a national conference in 2018. The hope is it will be seen as innovative, responsive research and used by commissioners and service providers to improve their response to adult survivors of sexual abuse across a complex and often difficult to navigate system. SISER and Survivors in Transition would like to conclude the trilogy of research by ascertaining the cost of delayed disclosure, ineffective interventions and missed opportunities across health services by conducting an economic analysis study. Dr Olumide Adisa is leading on this third research study, which we have aptly called ‘Focus on Survivors 3’. “…This work is genuinely driven and informed by survivors themselves who have been involved at every stage of planning and inception – an ethos that Professor Bond and her team are wholeheartedly committed to and together, we are ensuring that the voice of the survivor is listened to, believed and respected.” - Survivors in Transition
Undertaking research with men who have abused or are likely to abuse women (2018-2020) Led by Dr Olumide Adisa, this research project analysed referral data and selfreported data on pre-and post-outcomes to better understand men’s engagement with the Venta programme in 2018. Given the impact of domestic abuse on victims, there is a strong impetus to establish and test cost-effective perpetrator programmes aimed at preventing intimate partner violence and reducing offending behaviour. Venta at ICENI is a pilot intervention with low, medium and high-risk male perpetrators of domestic abuse who have abused or are likely to abuse their female partners/ex-partners in Suffolk. A total of 108 stakeholders, including offenders, practitioners and other agencies, were consulted using questionnaires, focus groups, and interviews for the first-stage of the evaluation.
The findings suggested that perpetrators do have the ‘propensity to change’, and that the completers are capable of taking the essential step to change their behaviour through education and being able to access and engage with tools for positive change. Iceni was able to use the preliminary evaluation findings to successfully make a case for support, securing funding to enable the completion of six cohorts of men in total. As part of the decisionmaking process, Olumide also offered her expert opinion as an independent evaluator in an interview with the funder. Since then, Iceni has commissioned a follow-up evaluation phase. This will include experiences of female partners/ ex-partners who have been supported by the partner support service, which offers a range of support by Iceni or at other specialist agencies. This research is already sparking interest from service commissioners and policymakers looking to either expand or meet the gaps in local provision in their own communities. The research project will conclude in Spring 2020.

DEVELOPING RESEARCHERS
DEVELOPING RESEARCHERS We believe everyone has a role to play in creating social change and transforming lives through real world research. SISER is proud to nurture bright minds that are committed to our mission of “making a big impact on our community, discovering new insights and potentially reaching worldchanging conclusions”. They are a vital part of SISER’s growing, vibrant and outstanding research environment. And here in their words are some insights into their SISER experiences.
Ian Piddington, Research Associate I joined SISER in 2018 to support an evaluation relating to social mobility in education. My previous experience as a senior leader in schools and currently as an education consultant gave me insight which has proved valuable in this role, but it is the guidance and support of the SISER team that has helped me navigate the previously unchartered waters of academic research. Colleagues have been really welcoming throughout my induction period and are always happy to share their expertise. I have been given helpful advice and guidance relating to research methodology, working timeframes and university systems and practice. This support has been balanced with the freedom to openly discuss progress and make decisions about the direction of the project and shape of the final report, due in 2020. SISER has also enabled me to attend a national conference relating to social mobility and education. I have also written two research blogs in
Page 22
relation to the conference and the evaluation project. In doing so I was able to consider the place of our local evaluation within a much larger framework of published research. It was also possible to then share this information with colleagues from schools and the local authority. Being a part of the SISER team has certainly given me the opportunity to develop my knowledge and personal skill set and I feel comfortable in the role of research associate. I look forward to my continuing involvement with SISER to deliver a meaningful, honest and useful project evaluation.
Fiona Costello, Research Assistant I started working with them in January 2019. I had been working for a charity in Norfolk for many years and had met Dr. Olumide Adisa (Senior Fellow SISER) when she became involved in the evaluation of Project Safety Net Plus. I was so passionate about the project and the obvious gaps in support for migrant women who are victims of domestic abuse as I saw it. However, at that time I also wanted to make a move back to academia having worked in the charity sector for eight years. Therefore, when the opportunity arose to work with Olumide, I jumped! From my very first day at SISER the entire team was welcoming and friendly. It is an office where everyone is doing such interesting, high quality research while also having fun, looking out for one another, developing and contributing to the life of the university. Olumide in particular is a force to be reckoned with and her passion for research and truth around domestic abuse is inspiring and truly endless. During my time at SISER I learned much that I will take forward with me throughout the rest of my academic career. This year alone we have launched a Domestic Abuse Research Network, are holding two events (one Film Screening and one Art Showcase) we have written and published a blog piece for the research blog, held development workshops, ran very many focus groups and interviews with victims of domestic abuse and specialist workers and other professionals in the field of domestic abuse, as well as report and paper writing.
Olumide’s quiet determination that research be inclusive, intersectional, meaningful and impactful are research foundations that I was privileged to see in action and learn from and something I know I will take forward into the life of my academic career. The uniqueness of SISER is to feel truly part of a research team, even while we all work on our own individual projects. An impressive lead is taken by Professor Emma Bond to ensure everyone feels part of a team and we all work hard and share and develop our individual research pathways. Sometimes research can be a solitary endeavour, but it never feels that way within the SISER team.

5 November 2019, 5.30–9.00pm University of Suffolk Neptune Quay, Ipswich IP4 1QJ In the context of domestic abuse, what does a ‘safety net’ mean? What role do language and culture play in support and how might we create culturally responsive services to meet the needs of migrant victims? Using different art forms and co-produced with migrant women we will examine migrant women’s journeys to safety based on accounts from victims/ survivors and professionals. We have been working with practitioners and artists to develop unique pieces for the showcase which will feature on the evening. Attendees will have time to view the showcase over a drinks reception at the University and speak to some of the artists and women who have contributed including local artist Lois Cordeila, contributions from women working with Phoebe in Ipswich, GYROS in Great Yarmouth, and Leeway in Norfolk and Suffolk. The showcase will also feature other local women and artists and bespoke art work, spoken word and music as well as other art creations.
The event will include a panel discussion to raise awareness of domestic abuse in migrant communities. Speakers include representatives from: WomenforRefugee Women, StepUpMigrant Women Campaign, Leeway, People from Abroad Team (Norfolk County Council), GYROS and Phoebe. The emerging themes from an ongoing evaluation of Project Safety Net+ by the University of Suffolk will shape the key discussion points and inspire the showcase. It promises to be an inspiring, creative unique evening of learning and sharing.

Brian Cox Research Associate Working with SISER with its focus on real world social and economic issues provides the opportunity to engage positively in contemporary issues that affect people’s lives. I particularly value the opportunities provided by the team to contribute to the understanding and production of public policy, often in areas that are overlooked or ignored by others – domestic abuse, the experiences of young people, deprivation and inequality. For me this is important, valuable and exciting. Additionally, the chance to contribute to research and action that makes a key contribution to the local area is particularly important. The fact that SISER connects the university to local government, public services and the voluntary sector means that it is a
place where cross agency and cross disciplinary research and learning can come together for the benefit of Suffolk and Essex. Working at the institute has meant that I feel I am making a real difference to the development of local services and organisations. During my time at SISER I found it to be a warm, supportive and challenging work place. It has a freshness and openness to research and knowledge and is a fabulous environment to work in.
Anni Meehan Research Associate Engaging in research at this level has been both challenging and rewarding. Challenging because it was a step-up from undergraduate research (selfdirected and independent) and it was necessary to familiarise myself with a relatively new methodological framework for scoping studies of this nature. I am currently working towards my Masters degree at the University of Suffolk, and I’ve found the opportunity to immerse myself in this research rewarding. It highlights the great work being done by domestic abuse services in the UK and internationally, and the commitment to evidence and evaluate that is clear. Representing the lived experience of women and girls,
and meeting their varied and complex needs vis-à-vis accommodation is critical. So my report will highlight some smallscale pilot scheme accommodation provisions that are having positive results. Therefore sharing experiences nationally and facilitating the application of those on a local level may be worthy of consideration.
Katie Tyrrell Research Associate I joined the University of Suffolk in 2017, from which I became one of SISER’s founding members. During my time with the team, I have learnt an exponential amount about effective research practices, working alongside multidisciplinary partners and public engagement. Working closely alongside Professor Emma Bond has opened up significant avenues for my personal and professional development. As well as being an inspiring leader, she trusts in the team’s abilities and builds upon our strengths, encouraging us to take hold of vital opportunities. As well as forging national connections with private, public and community sector organisations, Emma has enabled the co-production of impactful work alongside our national research partners, such as the Revenge Porn Helpline and Marie Collins Foundation, which has subsequently changed policy and practice. Since starting my career with SISER, I have been fortunate enough to work alongside local community leaders to develop provision for young people and assess the impact of interventions upon welfare for individuals across the lifespan. Not only this, but I have been able to start my PhD journey within SISER, developing expertise in my topic area of social theory, policy and social psychology and working alongside my fantastic supervisors who are leading academics in the field of socio-technical research.
This year, I have engaged with stakeholders at a national level around my PhD topic, which is looking specifically at students’ use of technology in their intimate relationships, as well as around my increasing interest in student mental health. I am a student member of the SMaRteN research network, an initiative funded by UK Research and Innovation, led by King’s College London, focusing on student mental health research in higher education. Not only this, but I was approached by the Office for Students, England’s independent higher education regulator, to form part of their Safeguarding and Welfare Expert Advisory Panel, as well as their Mental Health Advisory Subgroup. Working within SISER has enabled me to flourish as a student, academic researcher and as an individual, building my confidence by exposing me to a multitude of situations while meeting and working with supportive individuals and others who continue to inspire me every day.

DEVELOPING RESEARCH SKILLS Page 26
DEVELOPING RESEARCH SKILLS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS The University of Suffolk’s Transforming Lives Strategy for Research and Scholarly Activity states that “research skills are essential for academic success and student employability, and we will ensure that they are embedded across UG and PG provision”. In line with this, SISER’s researchers, Dr Olumide Adisa and Katie Tyrrell have supported learning and teaching strategies to help develop the practical skills of our undergraduates. This has included delivering workshops such as an innovative “Writing for publication” (Level 6) course to Radiography students, and secondary quantitative data analysis module (Level 5) workshops in the School of Law and Social Sciences. To date, both researchers have trained over 100 students around academic writing and research methods, to help undergraduate students become more confident and competent researchers.
Other related educational research in SISER: Social mobility project (SMPP) Ian Piddington and Dr Olumide Adisa (2017-2020) Suffolk County Council initiated this project in 2017, having identified electoral wards of the highest socioeconomic need. Pooled business rates of £1 million was then utilised to fund a range of innovative practices, designed to improve education, skills deprivation and boost social mobility. Four secondary schools in Suffolk serving these wards were chosen as recipients of a grant to provide opportunities to enhance the total learning experience of students. This included the aim to improve student academic attainment and improve educational and employment choice. The schools chosen were Chantry Academy, Ipswich Academy, Ormiston Denes Academy and Stoke High School Ormiston Academy.
The evaluation of the SMPP is designed to reflect on the project, identifying successes and challenges and show how further development of the project could be supported. The interim headline reports presented the findings from the process evaluation of the SMPP and the ongoing realist evaluation. The promising findings have been used to shape a further funding pitch to Suffolk’s Public Sector leaders. The final evaluation report to be published in 2020 will document the progress made by each secondary school and present recommendations based on what worked and what didn’t work so well.
Centre for Children and Childhood Studies Investigating Young People’s Perceptions of Provision and Opportunities in Suffolk This year, Katie has led on a project, working alongside Volunteering Matters to investigate young people’s perceptions of and provisions within their local community, using social mapping and qualitative methods.
The project was commissioned by the Bishop of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Suffolk Community Foundation and the Ipswich Opportunity Area, with support from the Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner.
The project involved the voices of over 100 young people across the county and involved in-depth qualitative discussions to identify need across different geographical locations in Suffolk. The research highlighted the need to focus on safe social spaces for young people, addressing social exclusion, embedding youth voice and re-directing the narrative around county-lines and gangs.
Katie is also engaging in further work to investigate the levels of young people engaging in social action across Ipswich, promoting further research activity to ensure we have adequate processes for participation and engagement with young people, so they are able to meaningfully contribute to local decisions, service development and wider society.
The project received widespread recognition, with coverage via BBC Look East and the East Anglian Daily Times, leading to the release of a £150,000 youth intervention fund by Suffolk Community Foundation and Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner, for applicants across Suffolk. Not only this, but applicants were required to indicate where and how they had involved young people in the development and design of their intervention or initiative, contributing to attitudinal social change.
