Our Service
If you have experienced rape or sexual assault, we are here to help you. We will help you recover from both the physical and emotional effects of the assault.
We provide a comprehensive and co-ordinated forensic, counselling and aftercare service to men, women and children living in the Greater Manchester area who have experienced rape or sexual assault, whether this has happened recently or in the past. We also offer immediate crisis support and a forensic service to Cheshire.
You can access our services either via Police or you can contact us directly.
You can also be referred to our services through another agency as long they have asked your permission.
If you report your assault to the Police, you should automatically be offered the Centre’s services as part of their response to sexual violence.
You can use our services without making a report to the Police or we can support you if and when you do what to speak to the Police.
We offer:
- Forensic medical examination.
- Emergency contraception and sexual health screening/advice.
- Immediate crisis support.
- Ongoing support through the criminal justice process, access to other healthcare services and community based services.
- Counselling for clients and their significant others.
- Training and consultancy services.
All services are provided free of charge.
The Centre offers a dedicated children’s service to provide care and assessment for child victims of sexual abuse. Centre staff work in collaboration with the police and children and families services in the safeguarding of children who have experienced sexual crimes.
