Side-by-Side: Support for People with a Learning Disability or Need
No matter when it happened, or who it was, if someone has harmed you or made you feel uncomfortable in a sexual way, even if you are not sure, you can contact Side-by-Side to speak with someone.
Side-by-Side is a sexual abuse and trauma service for people with a learning disability or need who have experienced any form of sexual harm at any time in their life.
We support people of any gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, and religious and cultural background.
Whatever happened, you are not to blame.
If someone has harmed you, it is not your fault.
The person who harmed you is responsible. Sexual abuse is against the law, and it is wrong.
