CPD-accredited RASSO Training
As part of Justice Is Now, we are approached by Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVA's) - for our court feedback project. A month ago, we got approached and what we found out was so shocking it led us to take it to The Guardian newspaper. We are so pleased to get these voices out there.
Our comments included:
“You would be charged more for a parking ticket than for rape. A £26 fine for rape is laughable and insulting to the public who put trust and faith and taxes into a system which is not protecting these girls. This is pure impunity for the attackers."
“Teenagers raping other teenagers should not become a socially accepted norm. We fear it is.”
You can read the full story featured on the front page of The Guardian online on Friday, 29th May here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/may/29/teenage-boys-rape-sentencing-youth-courts.
