[1/3]
We are delighted to be celebrating this collaborative campaign win. From today, following the success of #KeepCounsellingConfidential, the police must better respect the rights of survivors of sexual violence and recognise the privacy and dignity to which they are entitled.
Campaign win! Following the success of our #KeepCounsellingConfidential campaign, from today police officers will no longer be able to routinely access survivors’ therapy notes.
📣 We’re delighted that from today, police officers will no longer be able to routinely access rape survivors’ private counselling notes, after we changed the law to #KeepCounsellingConfidential
Content Warning: Rape and sexual violence.
No survivor of rape or sexual violence should have to choose between seeking justice and seeking therapy. I stand with @rapecrisis.bsky.social as they call for the Victims and Prisoners Bill to #KeepCounsellingConfidential.

No rape survivor should have to choose between seeking justice and seeking therapy. Routine requests for a survivor’s counselling notes undermine their right to specialist support. Let’s change the law to #KeepCounsellingConfidential
