When can you tell?
It might have happened recently or a long time ago. You can report that someone is harming you at any time.
Who can I tell?
You can talk to the Police or you can tell a trusted adult – someone you know who you feel safe with. They could be a relative, teacher, friend’s parent, sports coach or any other adult you feel OK talking to.
Telling Police
If you want to talk to the Police you can call them on 111 or visit a Police station. You can ask for someone who knows about sexual violence.
