Correct answer: DSexual assault referral-centre care independent of police reporting

The best answer is “Sexual assault referral-centre care independent of police reporting”. A sexual assault referral centre can provide trauma-informed medical care, forensic options, emergency contraception, STI assessment and support whether or not the person reports to police. Each examination and information-sharing step requires consent, alongside immediate safety and injury assessment.
