If you’ve been the victim of a sexual offence, there are support organisations out there which can help you when reporting a crime, going to court, and after a trial.

Support offered by these organisations include:

• Emotional support - coping with the after-effects of crime.

• Practical help - getting locks changed, or help filling in forms for insurance and compensation claims.

• Advice on dealing with the police.

• Help finding a counsellor.

There are also a number of helplines you can call anonymously for support.
