If you are in immediate danger or require urgent medical assistance, call 999.
Find a Place Where You Feel Safe
If an incident has just happened, try to move to a place where you feel safe and supported. You may wish to contact someone you trust, such as a friend, family member, colleague, or support service.
If you have experienced rape or sexual assault, your wellbeing and safety are the priority. You may have concerns about injuries, pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or whether you want to report what happened to the police. Whatever you decide, support is available, and you do not have to face this alone.
The NHS Scotland Sexual Assault Self-Referral Service can help you access care and support following rape or sexual assault. You may also be able to access a forensic medical examination without making a report to the police
