Advocacy Service

Our advocacy workers can offer practical and emotional support, helping you to make the decision that is right for you. If you choose to report, your advocacy worker can support you through the whole criminal justice process.

Provide you with information about the criminal justice system and what to expect
Liaise with other agencies
Arrange for you to have your statement taken at our centre and be present during your statement
Attend appointments related to the criminal justice process including any potential court case
Listen to you, believe you and offer you non-judgmental emotional support before, during and after the process

After a referral, you’ll have an initial appointment and a chat about whether you have any immediate advocacy needs we can help you with. After that, you can get in touch at any point with questions. You can also contact us if you want an advocacy worker to come with you to a meeting about your case – please give us as much notice as you can for this.
