Scoping Exercise for Services for Women Experiencing Sexual Violence, West Lothian Council and partners

Commissioned by West Lothian Council and partners in East and Midlothian, this work involved researching and analysing:

  • information about service delivery models to women who have been raped or sexually assaulted/abused in the UK and elsewhere
  • evidence of the likely demand for rape crisis services in East, Mid and West Lothian
  • information about gaps/services already in place for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted/abused in the Lothians
  • views of partner agencies involved in the domestic abuse/violence against women multi-agency partnerships and other key informants

My report presented options for developing rape crisis services in East, Mid and West Lothian.
