Get in touch with our experienced Admin and Support Workers if you need help with applying for criminal injuries compensation following a crime. Last year we helped our clients receive over £4 million of compensation they were entitled to. Our service is free and confidential.

You are able to use the CSOLA service even before you report a serious sexual offence to the police.

Let’s talk about non-fatal strangulation.

Non-fatal strangulation is seen as a red flag for escalating violence in intimate partner relationships and a possible indicator for future risk of murder or attempted murder.

With AI now able to create completely fake images of people, we will likely see a rise in cases of sextortion, where scammers threaten to release intimate images of a person if they don't pay up. If your image is being used for criminal ends, we can provide support and advice.

[Victim Support NI @VictimSupportNI]
