Getting evidence to/reporting to the police
There are very few guides out there to tell you, as a victim, how to get the police to listen.
To that end we’ve created a short guide to getting together evidence to present to the police: Preparing evidence
Over time, we hope to interview and get advice from people who have very successfully got the police to pay attention and got their cases into court - these are the people with best hints and tips, so watch this space!.

How to appeal a PIN
PIN’s (Police Information Notices) were a tool that was commonly used against grooming victims for having blown the cover of their groomer.
The practise has been pretty much stamped out, but if you still have a PIN on your record, this could help remove it.
