A centre for sexual assault victims has been praised by the Justice Secretary as a “beacon” of the model he would like to see across Scotland.
The Meadows, based at Larbert near Falkirk, provides a comprehensive range of services and support for adults and children who have experienced rape, sexual assault or gender-based violence, including victims of historic sexual abuse.
Victims no longer have to have an examination at Falkirk Police Station as the centre brings together a number of services including forensic-medical examination services, video and interview facilities and a separate area for children.
