Disclosing and Reporting
Disclosing takes place when you tell someone about your experience of sexual or gender-based violence. By disclosing your experience you can get support if you need or want it. Disclosing can also be talking about or recording your experience.
If you want to take legal action against the person who causes you harm, you can report the incident to the police. The Saint Mary's Sexual Violence Advisor can assist you with this process. For more information about Reporting to the police, click here:
