We won’t be using X anymore.

We no longer feel that the advantages of engaging with our stakeholders on this platform outweigh the potential harms it causes.

If you've been affected by 'Grok' or sexual violence of any form, we're still here for you: https://t.co/IQkTJ89Za3

Victims and survivors tell us that delays in court dates add further trauma and emotional distress to an already traumatic experience.

This is not justice.

We’re working tirelessly to influence change at the highest level.

Victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse deserve access to a criminal justice system that is transparent and accountable.

Today’s announcement that judges’ sentencing remarks transcripts will be available for free to all victims in the Crown Court is very welcome.

Self-care is more difficult if you're feeling stressed, low, upset or anxious. However, it can be even more important during these times.

It's important to remember that even steps that seem small will still help.

So, make sure to choose activities that work best for you. 💜
