Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Clive Loader has given his backing to a support service for male victims of sexual abuse.
First Step offers a free and confidential service to male survivors of rape and sexual abuse living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland who are over the age of 13.
Sir Clive visited co-ordinator Cas Beckett at the First Step offices located within Victim Support in Bishop Street, Leicester, to discuss how the service is making a difference to the lives of local people.
Promoting First Step and raising awareness of male abuse support services contributes to priority number six in Sir Clive’s Police and Crime Plan – to ensure a positive outcome from victims and witnesses of serious sexual offences.
