Victim support services
Victim Support
Victim Support is a charity that provides free, independent and confidential support to anyone affected by crime and traumatic events in England and Wales.
They can provide tailored support to help you manage after crime and feel safer. They can also explain your rights and entitlements.
They can put you in touch with local services near to where you live, so you can get ongoing support, and give you helpful information about other organisations that may be able to offer you specialist support.
You can get in touch by:
- calling their free Supportline on 08 08 16 89 111
- starting a live chat with a trained adviser
- contacting your nearest Victim Support team or requesting support online.
Further information:
