Project Sapphire

The Havens

The Havens, alternatively known as Sexual Assault Referral Centres, have been set up as a joint initiative by the MPS and Department of Health to ensure that victims of rape and sexual assault get the help they need.

This partnership combines the best possible initial case management by skilled officers with the best available victim care from the health service.

The service is comprehensive with on-going treatment, advice, counselling and follow up specialist and forensically trained doctors and nurses. It aims to provide a one-stop-shop service to victims of rape, regardless of whether they are male or female, young or old.

Whether or not you decide to report your rape or sexual assault to the police, The Havens can still help. Please contact any of the clinics below in confidence.
