Queen Camilla's emotional words for 'incredible' sexual assault support centres in poignant visit Queen Camilla praised the work of Sexual Assault Referral Centres around the country today saying: ‘It’s devastating that we need you, but thank goodness for the work you do.’.
During the opening of the new SARC in Exeter, Queen Camilla was shown a child's examination room by pediatric doctor Hannah Law (left).
She toured the new Exeter SARC’s facilities, which include Forensic Medical Examination (FME) suites and clinical rooms, and met staff who provide critical forensic and therapeutic care to service users.
The royal, 77, visited CoLab Exeter, a multi-agency health and wellbeing hub that brings together organisations working across sectors including learning, mental health, housing and homelessness services in Exeter.
In 2013 the Queen devised an initiative to hand out wash bags of toiletries, such as shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste, to sexual assault service users for use after forensic examination as a gesture of comfort at one of the most distressing times in their life.
