How we can help
If you are a victim or witness of crime, our caseworkers offer free, confidential, and independent advice and tailored support to meet your needs.
Types of support
-
Emotional support
Caseworkers are trained to listen, empathise and recognise the emotional impact that crime can have on you.
-
Information and advice
We can provide you with relevant information and advice tailored to your needs and experiences.
-
Access to specialist support
We will provide you with support that is specialist to your crime type or will help you find this support elsewhere by making a direct referral.
-
Crime prevention measurements
We can provide crime prevention measures, including a personal alarm and purse bells.
-
Advocacy
We can contact services on your behalf to help (for example support from your local housing).
-
Restorative Justice
Restorative Justice is a voluntary process which offers you the opportunity to potentially communicate with the offender to address any harm caused.
-
Online platform for digital counselling
We have a digital platform called Qwell which is accessible for anyone aged 18 and over who have been affected by domestic abuse or sexual offences. The support is anonymous and allows you to have online contact with a counsellor about how it has impacted you.
