If you’ve been raped or sexually assaulted in the last 7 days, you can phone the sexual assault self-referral phone service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 0800 148 88 88. Calls are free from landlines and mobiles.

Forensic medical examinations (FMEs) usually take place within 7 days, depending on the assault. In some circumstances, a healthcare professional may decide it would be appropriate for you to have an FME after that time.
