  • ​Arranging for interpretation and assisting with legal documents
  • Supporting you through the police investigation
  • Accompanying you to court proceedings and appointments
  • Debriefing and emotional support
  • Facilitating referrals for civil, quasi-judicial, or restorative justice options

There is no statute of limitations or time limit to report sexual offences. We are here for you when you are ready.
