Our Service

The Emerald Centre Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) offers a range of support services to anyone living within the Bedfordshire and Luton areas who has experienced sexual abuse or sexual violence, either recently or in the past.

Clients can self-refer without having to involve the Police, it is not necessary for a report to have been made to access our services. We can also, with a client's permission, take initial referrals from other professionals such as, but not limited to GP's, A&E and Sexual Health Clinics.

We also work alongside Bedfordshire Police to support any clients who have chosen to report to the Police.​
