Rape And Sexual Assault Counselling (RASAC)

There has been a long history of provision of rape, sexual assault, abuse and violence support services in Hampshire. This service is part of a wider network of provision for victims/survivors of rape, sexual assault, abuse and violence commissioned and provided by statutory and voluntary sector organisations. The increase in profile of sexual offences locally and nationally has reasserted the importance of a range of support services for victims and affected individuals. The specification details the telephone support and counselling services to be offered as part of a Hampshire-wide approach to rape and sexual assault support. The aim is to promote safeguarding and improve the wellbeing and welfare of those affected by rape, sexual assault, abuse and violence.
