Although children and young people will only be with our team at the SARC for a short amount of time (typically 4-6 hours), we want to make sure that they receive the ongoing aftercare and support they need.
It is likely that our Doctor/Nurse and Support Worker will refer the child or young person into other helpful services, who will be able to offer them additional support following their appointment with us. These services might include (but are not limited to); sexual health, their GP, as well as the West Merica Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre (WMRSASC) for counselling and Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) support.
You can click on the button below to learn more about WMRSASC, and other services which might be helpful at this time.
