Reporting to police

It is your choice whether you report a crime to police or not.

Some people choose not to report straight away for reasons important to them.

There are several actions a survivor can take. These include:

  • Engaging the police and having the matter formally investigated.
  • Completing a less formal, alternative reporting method. It is important to note that this option is not a formal complaint for police to initiate a criminal investigation.

If you choose to report the matter to the police, we can support you by attending the police station with you, whenever you feel ready to do so. The nature of the allegations you disclose to us may require us to report the matter to the police as part of our mandatory reporting obligations.
