Witch Hunts and Public Money

The Directors at Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre has issued a mealy mouthed statement about standards while offering no apology for the 'heresy hunt' against an employee or its practice of turning away women service users who reject self-ID.

Statement from Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre Board of Directors - May 20, 2024


We are saddened by the outcome of the Tribunal. We will now take time to reflect on the written judgement.

We strive to provide a safe accessible and inclusive service and are committed to improving continuously.

We are fully supportive of Rape Crisis Scotland’s commissioning of an independent review of ERCC practice. This will help ensure our practices and procedures meet the highest standards as set out in the Rape Crisis National Service Standards, and that survivors receive the exceptional quality of support they deserve.

We want to reassure all survivors who are currently accessing our services and anyone seeking support that we are still here for you, and you matter to us. Our services remain unaffected by these events.

Please see our FAQs page on our website for further information about the services we offer.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull.
