Speaking to someone

You don’t have to face this on your own. We are here to talk to you, whenever you are ready.

• We’re here to talk and help anyone under the age of 18 who has been affected by crime.
• If it happened to you or not – no matter whether it has been reported or when it happened, we are here for you.
• Getting help from us is free. If you’re under 13 years old we need consent from your parent or guardian first.
• Kooth is now available for online support, if you’re aged between 11 and 25 years old. Click here to access free, online, anonymous support via their website.

Reporting a crime

If you think you have been a victim of a crime and want to report a crime, you can tell a parent, carer or adult you trust. Victim First Futures can also help you with this if you are unsure.

• If you feel you are in immediate danger, call 999.
• If it is not an emergency but you still want to report something to the police, you can call 101 or report online via the Leicestershire Police website.
