what is the national 24-7 supportline?
Rape Crisis South London works in partnership with Rape Crisis England and Wales, Lincolnshire Rape Crisis & Sexual Abuse Services and Arch Teesside to provide the nation's 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line.
Support Line workers are there to listen and offer emotional support, for up to 45 minutes by chat or 40 minutes by phone. You can talk privately and safely about what happened, how you feel, and any difficulties you're facing. They can also tell you about other local services, such as Rape Crisis centres or Sexual Assault Referral Centres, and help you start the process of reporting to the police, if that's something you're considering.
Safeguarding
Our safeguarding policies mean we may need to share some of the information you give us if we're concerned for the safety of a child or adult at risk. For more information, see the Support Line FAQs.
