Reporting rape
Rape is a serious crime we would encourage you to tell us
about.
We understand this is your decision and one you shouldn’t
be pushed into but it’s important to remember that the sooner the
assault is reported, the more evidence we’ll be able to collect to
help prevent you or someone else being hurt again.
You can call us at anytime on 101.
If you do decide to make a report, we will do everything we can to
make sure you and your family receive the best possible care and
support.
