Sexual Assault Services Victoria submission to the Victorian Law Reform Commission ‘Improving Justice Responses to Sexual Offences’ Inquiry February 4, 2021

Page 14. Pathways to justice – the role of support and services
What would make it easier for people who have been sexually harmed to get the supports and services they need, so they can decide whether to report the sexual harm?

"Sexual assault and family violence disclosures need to be met with a ‘no wrong door’ approach by any service – universal family and child welfare services, education.

This is what facilitates greater reporting. Improved competencies in recognising and responding to disclosures across sectors would lead to greater reporting if sexual assault wasn’t such a stigmatised issue."
