NHS England's Strategic Direction for Sexual Assault and Abuse Services

NHS England produced a 5 year inquiry into Sexual Assault and Abuse Services (SAAS) covering the period 2018-2023. At the outset NHS England established a Lived Experience Group (LEG) to provide input whilst the strategy was being developed and thereafter provide feedback and highlight issues.  NHS England has regularly monitored progress linked to the SAAS document and also recently commenced a project to update the Strategy beyond 2023.

Statement from NHS England - 'Life long care for victims and survivors'. 'This strategic document outlines how services for victims and survivors of sexual assault and abuse, in all settings of the health and care system, need to evolve between now and 2023. It sets out six core priorities that NHS England will focus on to reduce inequalities experienced'.
