Urgent Help
If you have recently been raped, sexually assaulted, sexually abused or experienced another type of sexual violence - we have information to help support you with your next steps.
You will find information here on reporting to the police, attending Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC) and different ways of receiving medical care.
If you feel ready to receive support from others, please visit the our Services pages to see what support is right for you and further information around making a referral into the service.

Reporting
This section was created in order to give you some more information about what to expect, if you do decide to report to the police. Please be aware that the decision of whether you should do so or not is completely up to you.
If you don’t want to speak to anyone right now but you do want further information, there is a book available online called ‘Report to Court’ by The Rights Of Women, which you may find useful. Our ISVA team can be contacted for further advice and support if you are unsure about reporting to the police.
