About this deal
News of the arrests come after the police force were criticised for their heavy-handed response to anti-monarchy demonstrators in central London on Saturday.
We are proud to have developed and now be launching the 24/7 Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Line, an important addition to the specialist support available for anyone 16 and over in England and Wales who has been impacted by sexual violence and abuse. SARCs offer a range of services, including crisis care, medical and forensic examinations, emergency contraception and testing for STIs. They can also arrange access to an independent sexual assault advisor (ISVA), as well as referrals to mental health support and sexual violence support services.
Specialist operators – available via telephone or webchat – will be on hand at any time to provide victims with vital information and emotional support. This includes signposting to local, longer-term services such as Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA). The police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will be marked on new “scorecards” published every six months. An external taskforce that will include the victims’ commissioner, Vera Baird, domestic abuse commissioner Nicole Jacobs, victims’ groups, representatives from the criminal justice agencies and lead by policing minister Kit Malthouse will meet monthly. That could lead to real change. Her company has gone from strength to strength, and she now has 158,000 followers on TikTok, with her weekly drops selling out in under 10 minutes at points.
If you do decide to report it to the police, a police officer specially trained in supporting victims of sexual assault will talk to you and help to make sure you understand what's going on at each stage.
