Survivor Stories

We had never heard of Safeline until our child was sexually assaulted

As a family we had never experienced anything like this at all, and our chISVA and Safeline made a very traumatic time that much easier to deal with as she could help us with any questions or queries, we had as well as just be there in person to support us through it all. We never felt alone through THE worst time in our lives – thanks to Safeline.

Survivor Stories

I faced up to the sexual abuse I had inflicted on me

Following many years of torment, I faced up to the sexual abuse I had inflicted on me as a child and went to the police at the age of 32, some 23 years after the abuse began.

When it’s someone you know

Support for family and friends

When someone close to you has experienced sexual abuse, whether it happened recently or long ago, it can feel overwhelming and frightening. As a family member, friend, or loved one, you may worry about saying or doing the wrong thing, adding to an already difficult time.

At Safeline, we understand how challenging this can be, and we’re here to support you.
