About

The first point of contact if you’ve experienced rape and sexual assault

At the Swindon and Wiltshire Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), we offer immediate help to anyone who has experienced a recent or non-recent rape or sexual assault in Wiltshire. If you’ve been raped or sexually assaulted, no matter how long ago, you can contact the SARC directly with or without police involvement. It’s a safe place where you’ll find confidential practical and emotional support from our team of specialist staff.

For information and advice, you can contact the Swindon and Wiltshire SARC by calling 01793 781916 and speaking to one of our specialist trained crisis workers.

Our advice and support telephone line is open 24/7 365 days a year. For non-recent referrals, you can make a secure referral online. Please note that online referrals are not monitored outside of office hours. Our office hours are Monday to Friday 09:00- 17:00.
 
For referrals or advice regarding a recent rape or sexual assault, please do not submit an online referral.

Please call us, to ensure time sensitive support and advice for forensic evidence collection, sexual health and medication can be offered.
