    the attack on you. It is the responsibility of the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute the person who is charged with attacking you. The legal process can be long and complicated, but your determination to see it through might reduce the chance that someone else will be assaulted by the same person. We have special examination suites with a comfortable sitting room, a medical examination room, and a bathroom where you can have a bath or a shower after the medical examination. A fresh change of clothes and personal items such. as combs, toothbrushes, shampoo, talcum powder, facecloths and bath towels, are available. When you are talking about the attack with the police, either with the detective who will investigate your case or the officer who will initially support you, please ask questions about any words or procedures that are not clear to you. It is important to write down the names and phone numbers of everyone who is working with you so you can call them if you have further questions. There is space at the back of this booklet to do this.
