WHAT IS SEXUAL VIOLENCE?

Sexual violence means any form of unwanted sexual touch or activity, and can include rape, child sexual abuse or exploitation, sexual assault, female genital cutting, trafficking; abuse linked to faith or belief; and image-based abuse (commonly known as ‘revenge pornography’).

SELF HELP RESOURCES

Here at SRC we have multiple services which can support you, but here are some self-help guides if you are look for informal support. 

UNDER 14

SRC can only offer support to those over the age of 14. If you are under 14, these resources may be useful.

CERVICAL SCREENING

Many people find being invited for and having their cervical screening (a smear test) uncomfortable and distressing. If you have experienced sexual violence, you may find it particularly difficult or traumatic. If you feel this way, you are not alone! 

REPORTING TO THE POLICE

If you have recently been raped or abused, the first important step afterwards is to make sure you are somewhere you feel safe. 

USEFUL CONTACTS

If you are in immediate danger or are in danger of harming yourself, please call 999. 

If you require additional support, then please find some useful contacts that you can reach out to.
