Helpline 

For phone support please call Rape Crisis Scotland’s national helpline on 08088 010302 (freephone, 6pm – midnight every day). They offer a Deaf access service every Tuesday 1.30pm – 5pm. On Mondays and Thursdays they also offer a LGBTI specific service from 7pm to midnight.

Email support

If you’d like to email our support service about making an appointment or referral – or are looking for email support please email support@ercc.scot. You will receive an automatic response to your email on the day it is sent and a fuller reply thereafter.

Some spam filters may also prevent emails from us being delivered if they think the content is abusive for example if they contain sexual words so please check your email’s spam or junk folder as occasionally our replies will go in there.

If you have problems receiving a reply please feel free to contact us again or leave a message on our call back phone: 0131 556 9437. Please let us know if it is okay for us to call you back, and if so whether it is okay for us identify who we are or leave a message. Otherwise, we won’t not leave a message if we can’t get in touch with you.
