If you need support

Victims and witnesses

Being a victim or witness of crime can be a traumatic and confusing experience. Everyone reacts differently to crime, either they've experienced it directly or indirectly.

Victim Support is the national charity which helps people affected by crime. It provides free and confidential support to help you deal with your experience, whether or not you report the crime.
