Sexual Violence Hub and Therapy Support for Adult Survivors

Description

The proposed Service will be available to all adult survivors of sexual violence aged 18 years and over who reside within Nottingham City or Nottinghamshire, and/or are registered with a GP practice within the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board area. This includes individuals who have experienced sexual assault, rape, or sexual abuse, including non-contact offences, whether the abuse occurred recently or in the past, including during childhood. Support will be provided regardless of whether the offence has been reported to the police. Where appropriate, support will also be available to close family members of victims and survivors. Children and young people will continue to be supported through separately commissioned specialist services. The Service aims to lead the delivery of an integrated Adult Sexual Violence Hub and therapeutic support service across Nottinghamshire. Its objective is to empower adult victims and survivors by building resilience, supporting recovery, and helping individuals regain control of their lives following their experiences. Through a tailored and person-centered approach, the Service will enable survivors to move forward with confidence and independence. The Service will achieve this through the provision of a specialist single point of access (Survivor Hub), together with emotional support and evidence-based psychological therapies designed to meet the needs of both recent and non-recent survivors of sexual violence aged 18 years and over.
