Support offered: SARCs can provide you with support after being subjected to sexual violence.

At a SARC forensic evidence can be collected and stored for you should you wish to not report now. This gives you the option to come back and report at a later date with the evidence gathered. Forensic evidence should be collected within 72 hours.

You do not have to report to the police to attend a SARC. You can also speak informally and anonymously to a specially training sexual offence officer.

SARC’s also offer follow-up care, including counselling, tests and treatments.
