Inside a sexual assault referral centre


Listen Later

The issue of sexual assault hasn’t been far from the headlines in recent weeks - but what kind of help is available for people who have been through it?

James visits Saint Mary’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Manchester where he meets the people who offer invaluable medical and emotional support to patients. He also talks to a young woman who describes her experience of using the service, which she credits with saving her life.

And why does Covid-19 seem to be flooring people again? James finds out that the body’s own defences are partly to blame.

Presenter: James Gallagher

Producer: Gerry Holt
Content editor: Erika Wright
