Survivor Support Packs
Our Survivor Support Packs are made up of five key booklets which explain what sexual violence is, your reporting options, and how you can support others.
It takes incredible strength and bravery to speak out about sexual violence. You can use our Survivor Support Packs to help you gain an understanding of your options.
These packs have been created in association with survivors and the North West SAAS Partner Network. Details of this network can be found on the About Us page.
You can find your local support organisation via the map function on our homepage.
