SERICC: Rape and Sexual Abuse Specialist Service
SERICC provides specialist services to anyone in South and West Essex who is experiencing, or who has experienced, any form of sexual violence and abuse at any time in their life. You can contact us for support for yourself, your child, someone else in your family or someone you know. SERICC is a confidential service that is independent from social services, the police and other official agencies. We will not tell you what to do or judge your actions.
Sexual violence is a term that includes any sexual behaviours that are unwanted or that happen without a person's consent. Sexual violence does not have to involve physical contact. It includes rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse, child sexual abuse, online grooming and indecent images of children.
We operate across the whole of Essex and offer a triage service via our First Contact Navigators and our Essex partnership of Rape Crisis Centres
