Improving Pathways

There is a need in Peterborough to ensure clear pathways are in place for people to access sexual violence support. The Oasis Centre @ Rivergate (Sexual Assault Referral Centre) goes a long way to address this but there is also a need to work with the most at risk people to prevent further sexual violence.

Sex workers, women (and men) in prison, children and young people in care can be particularly at risk and we are working very closely with HMP Peterborough, child protection agencies to develop strategies that will be commissioned to improve the quality and access to services to support them.
