UK Government Updates Support Guide for Victims of Terrorist Attacks
The UK government has released an updated printable guide intended for use by support agencies and first responders to distribute to individuals affected by terrorist attacks. This leaflet serves as a succinct resource outlining where victims, survivors, witnesses, family members, and other affected persons can seek advice and assistance.
It consolidates contact information for official helplines and support services across the UK. The latest update introduces a new section titled 'Available support' and incorporates details on the Peace Collective support network.
Mental health resources have been revised, including updated information on NHS Talking Therapies and mental health support specific to Scotland. The victim support section has undergone minor updates to reflect current service provisions.
Further administrative updates include the change in name of Cruse Bereavement Support and revised contact details for the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLAM), including their email and phone number. The leaflet is designed to be printed and distributed quickly to ensure timely access to assistance following terrorist events within the UK.
