West of Scotland Rape and Sexual Assault Service

Important update

If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, West of Scotland Sexual Assault Response Coordination Service (SARCs) is there to help. Their team is made up of experts trained in caring for people who have been raped or sexually assaulted.

If the assault took place in the last seven days, they can provide clinical care. You are able to access their services with or without the police. The police can be contacted on 101.

If you are unsure about whether you want to tell the police, they can collect your evidence and store it, which will give you more time to consider your decision.

Going to a SARC without the police is called a self-referral. From 1 April 2022, The Forensic Medical Services (Victims of Sexual Offences) (Scotland) Act 2021 is enacted, this legislation allows victims of sexual offences to request a Forensic Medical Examination (FME) by self-referring within seven days of the assault.

That means victims of sexual assault are able to attend any SARC within the West of Scotland. That has included the introduction of two new facilities – The Willows in Ayrshire and The Dunnock Suite in Lanarkshire.

Work is currently ongoing in Glasgow for two new suites for Archway Glasgow.

More Information If you wish to self-refer, please visit: www.nhsinform.scot/SARCS.

You can also visit the West of Scotland Rape and Sexual Assault Service portal https://nhswossarc.scot/ to find out more about our services in Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.

Access to all SARCs is appointment based only. To contact those services directly, please phone: 0141 211 8175. Archway Glasgow is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Please note that Rape Crisis Scotland supports people who have been raped or sexually assaulted at any time after the assault.

  38. Copper scrap stockpiling Copper has been used by humanity since ancient times, and today it is becoming increasingly important as a metal of the future. As technology and industry continue to grow, demand for copper is also rising, as this versatile metal is used in a wide range of products and applications. One of the key reasons for copper’s growing popularity is its excellent electrical conductivity. Copper is one of the best natural conductors of electricity, and is used extensively in electrical wiring and components. From power cables and transformers to circuit boards and motors, copper is an essential component of modern electrical systems. But copper’s usefulness extends far beyond electronics. It is also a key material in construction, where it is used for plumbing, roofing, and many other applications. Copper is highly resistant to corrosion and is often used in marine environments due to its ability to withstand saltwater exposure. Another important use for copper is in renewable energy systems. Solar panels and wind turbines both rely on copper for their electrical components, and as these technologies become more widespread, demand for copper is expected to grow significantly. In addition to its practical applications, copper has a unique aesthetic appeal. Its bright orange-red color and distinctive texture make it a popular choice for decorative objects and artwork. Despite its many uses and benefits, copper is not without its challenges. The mining and processing of copper can have significant environmental impacts, and efforts are being made to improve sustainability in this industry. Overall, however, copper’s versatility and reliability make it a metal of the future, with a role to play in powering our electronics, buildings, and transportation systems for generations to come Scrap yard services Scrap copper sorting Environmental compliance in copper recycling Copper extrusion scrap Copper recycling center Scrap metal prices

  39. Certification for copper scrap buyers Copper is a widely used metal that has been valued for thousands of years for its strength, durability, and versatility. It is found in everything from electrical wiring to architecture, and is an important component of many modern technologies and products.

The Copper Development Association: This organization is dedicated to promoting the use of copper and providing information about its properties, applications, and benefits. Their website has a wealth of information on topics such as copper alloys, sustainability, and health and safety. 2. The International Copper Association: Another organization dedicated to promoting the use of copper, the ICA provides information on the latest research and technology related to copper and its uses. They also have resources for people in the industry and those interested in copper-related careers. 3. The USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries: This annual publication from the U.S. Geological Survey provides an overview of the production and uses of various minerals and metals, including copper. It includes statistics on production, consumption, and prices, as well as a wealth of other information. 4. Mining companies: Many companies involved in copper mining and production have websites that provide information on their operations, processes, and products. These sites can be a good source of detailed information about copper and its uses. 5. Books: There are a number of books available on the history, science, and applications of copper. Some good options include “Copper: A Material for the New Millennium” by Karl J. Lewin, “Copper, Silver, Gold: An Introduction to the Chemistry of the Elements” by A. G. Massey, and “The Copper Handbook” by American Metal Market. Overall, there are many ways to learn more about copper and its uses.
