When I called the helpline I was…anxious and afraid

When I called the helpline I was extremely anxious I had not spoken about my ordeal to a stranger before and was apprehensive of what it entailed. The man I spoke to (Youssef Anbar) helped me to feel at ease and was patient and understanding at all times. He clearly explained the process and what they needed from me. He made the entire process no where near as scary as I imagined it would be. I was afraid that I may have left it too late but Youseff assured me that because of my situation I was still eligible to make a claim . Although I am afraid of what the future will hold regarding my claim , I am glad I made the first step.

They were super helpful and though I was reliving traumatic experiences, they were calming and took their time. The lady I spoke to is called Basma and she was so patient and knew exactly what to tell me to do when it got a bit much.
My phone cut out and she rang me back and let me answer the phone to my carer mid call too and rang me back. Overall amazing staff especially Basma. She was a diamond

Very positive experience

I dealt with Youssef after I contacted the criminal injuries helpline. I’m a disabled lady with complex medical issues and also mental health problems. Youssef was very helpful supportive and empathetic to all aspects of my initial claim relating to a sexual assault which happened in April 2025

ROne click of a button and in 72 hrs they literally have not stopped hounding me. This is a red flag . And now I come here and read these cases.
Pariah comes to mind.
Feeding of those who have been broken in the past.
I did not ask you to call .
Several times a day and message.
