As Sexual Abuse and Violence Awareness week continues, today we wanted to share with you information on sexual assault referral centres (SARCs).
Despite these specialist services being available across England, many sexual assault and abuse survivors do not know where to go or who to turn to for help. We also know that some people are put off seeking help due to thinking they need to speak to the police.
Help is available from a SARC without having to talk to the police or report what happened.
