Healthcare Improvement Scotland is seeking the involvement of survivors, and those working to support survivors, on the development of new guidelines for healthcare and forensic medical services for people who have experienced rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse. They are particularly interested in gaining further insight from survivors of childhood abuse and/ or those working in remote / rural areas.
How to help
The 2019 guidelines which are being updated can be found here: Healthcare and forensic medical services for people who have experienced rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse.

What Were You Wearing? Survivor Exhibition, 2nd-3rd Dec
This installation provides a tangible response to one of our culture’s most pervasive rape myths. “What were you wearing?” This terrible myth insinuates that people’s, but especially women’s, clothing is some how responsible for sexual violence. This exhibition aims to show how absurd this concept is and how in reality the only person at fault is the perpetrator.
