How do I get help?

• After a sexual assault you can report the incident to the Police and if you consent they will arrange an appointment for you at SAFE Place. 

• If you do not wish to report the incident to the police at this time you can attend SAFE Place as a self-referral (without police involvement). All you need to do is call 0151 295 3550 to book an appointment.
