The
Haven has been set up between the Metropolitan Police
and King's College Hospital NHS Trust to provide comprehensive
care for female and male complainants of sexual assault
and rape. It aims to provide service users with a sensitive
environment that can provide support about reporting to
the police, the optimal collection of forensic and/or
intelligence evidence (anonymously if desired); as well
as being able to offer medical (e.g tests and treatments
for sexually transmitted infections including HIV, emergency
contraception and pregnancy testing) and psycho-social
input (e.g. assessment, counselling and referral services).
It can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by
victims of sexual assault/rape themselves or via the police.
It is set in a self-contained unit within the sexual health
department of King's College hospital rather than in (or
annexed to) a police station. In order to access The Haven
service it is necessary to telephone first in order to
book an appointment.
Telephone (020) 7346 1599 if contacting The Haven between
8.30 am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Outside of these hours
or during the weekend dial (020) 7737 4000 which will
tell you how to get through to the emergency bleep operator
who will then deal with your request for The Haven service. |
