Call for tenders

Rape Crisis Scotland has issued a call for tenders for the evaluation of its new National Advocacy Project.

The National Advocacy Project aims to improve the support available to survivors of rape and serious sexual crime; improve the experience of the criminal justice process for survivors of rape and serious sexual crime; develop a better understanding of motivations to proceed or not to proceed within the criminal justice process and what difference advocacy support makes to this decision.

We are seeking external evaluators with relevant experience to assess the impact of the project.

The leaflet is written from 2 perspectives: that of a survivor who reported whilst still overseas but has subsequently returned to Scotland and that of a survivor who, having returned to Scotland, wishes to report an attack that happened abroad.

The leaflet will be available to survivors overseas via a link on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) homepage and will be distributed to locations in Scotland where travellers are likely to seek advice.  Survivors who were attacked overseas will be able to access initial and crisis support from the RCS Helpline regardless of whether or not they are in the country.  The RCS Helpline aims also to link survivors into support agencies and FCO teams in the country where the attack happened to ensure they have access to local knowledge and expertise e.g. on the legal system.

If you would like to receive hard copies of the new leaflet, please email us at info@rapecrisisscotland.org.uk
