Lancaster City Council will always support victims of sexual offences. This page provides guidance on reporting incidents and accessing support services.
If you've experienced or witnessed a sexual offence:
1. Contact the police immediately: Report the incident to the police as soon as possible, especially if you're concerned about your or others' safety.
2. Provide details to us: After reporting to the police, contact us with the following information:
Nature of the incident

We'll review this information to determine if we can take any further action.
Anonymous Reporting
If you wish to report criminal behaviour without revealing your identity, you can contact Crimestoppers. They offer a confidential service allowing you to share information anonymously.
Experiencing a sexual offence can be traumatic. Support is available through Rape Crisis England & Wales. They offer specialised services to help you through this difficult time.
Don't hesitate to seek help and support from us if you've been affected by a sexual offence, as we can assist you in accessing the right services.
