Recent Sexual Assault 

​What to do if you have been sexually assaulted in the last 7 days? 
At the CASA suite, we understand you may be feeling scared, confused and isolated. We have a dedicated team of staff on hand to help you.
  • If you are in immediate danger call the police on 999
  • The police can also be contacted on the non emergency number 101
  • If you have a serious injury you must seek immediate help
If possible:
  • Save all clothing you were wearing at the time of assault
  • Do not shower, bath, wash or brush your teeth
  • Please try not to use the toilet and if relevant keep all sanitary wear
Even if you have not done any of the above, do not worry, we may still be able to recover forensic evidence.
Police ReferralIf you contact the police to make a report and require a forensic medical examination, with your agreement the police will bring you to the CASA suite.

The police referral service is open 24/7 a medic and crisis worker will be on hand to support you.
Self ReferralIf you do not wish to report to the police you can contact the CASA suite direct and speak to a member of staff to discuss your options, please note the office is open Monday to Friday 8am-4pm.
