Initial Consultation

Service Description

For clients recently placed under investigation for sexual offences there can be a mixture of shock, shame and fear, which can be shared by their family members. For clients in this situation, we offer an initial consultation, usually with seven days of a request. The consultation can be face-to-face, or on Zoom video call. These one-hour meetings cost £60 and aim to: > Help stabilise the client's immediate well-being > Give the client a space to speak about what is on their mind, including their greatest fears and anxieties > Provide insight into the investigation, legal & social care processes & potential outcomes > Provide initial advice on navigating the emotional demands of investigation, and implications for any employment and possible social care processes. Confidentiality limitations are always fully explained so that clients can feel safe in speaking openly. In the consultations we are able to discuss what outcomes are possible, and which are most relevant. We would usually conclude the consultation by offering you entry to the Safer Lives Programme.
