Rape and Alleged Rape in Marriage

Liz R (Account suspended) made this Freedom of Information request to National Policing Improvement Agency

The request was partially successful.

From: Liz R (Account suspended)

Dear National Policing Improvement Agency,

How do you ensure that women whom have reported marital rape get
help and support? Do you follow up on all rape allegations? Even
historical claims? If someone has suffered rape or has alleged
rape, in both instances they obviously need counselling, so how do
you ensure this happens and is followed though? Do you refer people
who allege rape to their GP for counselling? If not why not? How do
you ensure a GP provides proper psychological counselling services?

Even if it's a false allegation of rape, to prevent further police
time being wasted and the horrors of false allegations, you must
prevent this crime somehow? What is your position on that? I'd
appreciate information here, thanks

Yours faithfully,

Liz R
