Support sessions and events

Devon and Cornwall SARC 

NHS SARCs are specialist services that offer free care and support to anyone who has been raped, sexually assaulted or abused at any time in their life. 

Help is available from a SARC without having to talk to the police or report what happened.  The SARC team will make sure that anyone visiting their service understands their options and gets the support they choose in a place where they are safe.

If you have been raped, sexually assaulted or abused and don't know where to turn, search ‘sexual assault referral centres’ for more information or visit www.nhs.uk/SARCs to find your nearest centre.  If appropriate, wanted, and within the forensic window, SARC can undertake examinations.

Devon and Cornwall SARC will be holding a drop-in service on campus on the last Thursday of every month, from 10:00 until 12:00 and bookable appointments from 12:30 until 16:00. Lisa from Devon and Cornwall SARC will be based in the Wellbeing rooms, upstairs in Tremough House Annex. For more information or to book an appointment, email wellbeing@fxplus.ac.uk or book direct by calling 0300 303 4626
