Item No 17 - WoS Sexual Assault and Rape Service Update Report on Progress made in Developing a Regional Service

| Glasgow City Integration Joint Board | Papers and Reports | 23 March 2022

The purpose of this paper is to update Glasgow City IJB on developments within the West of Scotland (WoS) Sexual Assault and Rape Centre (SARC) since the previous paper in January 2021. Specifically, to update on the following issues:

  • West of Scotland Boards’ progress towards realising a service delivery model which will substantially improve local provision and support. Services in both Adults/Adolescents and Children’s are proactively working towards the Healthcare Improvement Scotland standards.
  • Progress and status of the Test of Change (ToC) for the post of Forensic Nurse Examiner which will test the role of these nurses in completing appropriate Forensic Medical Examinations, relevant documentation processes and effectively providing professional opinion evidence in court to a standard that is accepted by the Lord Advocate.
