SAFE Place Merseyside is a Sexual Assault Referral Centre. Clients are currently referred by the Police but from 22nd Sept 2009 will also be able to self-refer. The Centre’s primary service is the provision of a forensic medical examination following a recent sexual assault. On arrival at the Centre, clients will be able to access emotional and practical support from a Crisis Worker and will also be given information about how to access further care/counselling and support/advice on various criminal justice options.

The Centre is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. From April 2009, clients will be able to speak to a Crisis Worker 24 hours a day, 7 days a week who will provide immediate advice and, if necessary, arrange for a forensic examination to take place.

Following examination, clients may be referred to a local Independent Sexual Violence Advisor, who will co-ordinate after-care packages which may incorporate screening for sexually transmitted infections, counselling, and support throughout any criminal proceedings. Counselling is arranged via the ISVA service, and is not available at the Centre.
