There are a variety of services offering different kinds of support to people in the Avon and Somerset area who experience sexual violence. The Survivor Pathway is a website that explains the support available to people in different situations and provides links that make it easy to contact that organisation. It is particularly useful for professionals who are trying to identify the most appropriate service to make a referral to.
There are some great resources available to help people think about what consent really means:

All the staff have been so friendly and welcoming, and very kind. I was supported from the very first contact, and overall, could not have gone through the past few years without this wonderful service. A major asset to our NHS service, and one that I hope is able to reach as many individuals as need it.
