Has the attacker gone?
If not, are you able to make yourself safe, contact a trusted friend or family member, or call the police?
If you are in danger, you should call 999 immediately.
However, whether you choose to report to the police or not is wholly your choice. Whatever you decide is okay.
We can offer information and options to help inform your decisions but whatever you decide to do, we will support you, respect you and believe you.
It's normal to be in shock, so you may be unable to feel any pain right now.
Check if you are bleeding - if you have more than a very minor cut or graze, or if you have banged or been hit on the head, you may need to call 999 or go to A&E right away to get medical assistance.
If you were unconscious, even just for a short amount of time, you should go to A&E.
If possible, contact a trusted friend or family member to go to A&E with you.
You can call the Argyll and Bute Rape Crisis helpline - 0800 121 4685 - so that we can support you through the police and medical procedures. If you want, one of your trained support workers can accompany you to report.
Remember that you can still call our helpline - 0800 121 4685 - you don't have to go through this alone, and we will respect your decision to not report to police.
