Report to Court

The circumstances of each crime are unique, and so is the journey each victim takes once an investigation is conducted by the police. The main point of contact will always be the Officer in the Case, however, you may be contacted by other departments, services or agencies who can provide additional information and offer support.

This guide is to introduce you to some of the organisations who may be in touch, and give an overview of the possible different stages in your journey.
