Your Journey – Derbyshire
Sexual violence – a survivor’s guide to support and reporting
We know that asking for support and deciding whether to report a rape or sexual assault to the police can be a difficult choice. In this booklet we look at different support and reporting options. We also look at the whole reporting process, from first contact to the possibility of giving evidence in court. You can download the complete guide by clicking on the ‘Your Journey’ image.
