Talk:Beira's Place/Archives/2024/February

Police Scotland referrals
Given the sensitivity that surrounds Articles that touch in the trans issue I thought I'd get some feedback rather than being bold.

Planning to add...

Police Scotland is to create a direct referral system for assault survivors to Beira’s Place. This will be similar to the procedures they have in place for Rape Crisis Scotland. In a 2023 quarterly performance report Police Scotland stated: “Beira’s Place is a newly opened support agency run by women, for women over 16 only, based in Edinburgh and provides support to victims of sexual crime in the Lothians. We aim to create a direct referral procedure similar to the Rape Crisis Scotland (RCS) process and expand to obtain feedback from women supported by Beira’s Place. The majority of feedback received from survivors who have engaged with RCS support is positive.”

Thoughts?

BTW - There may be some interest in including part of the Scottish Daily Express article in our Rape Crisis Scotland article? Lukewarmbeer (talk) 12:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Is it a significant piece of information? It sounds like business as usual for such an organisation. Also, I think the Scottish Daily Express would fall under WP:DAILYEXPRESS. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 13:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi all, agreed we cannot use Scottish Daily Express. I think it's WP:DUE to mention something along lines suggested by @Lukewarmbeer especially as Times is WP:GREL.  Would suggest starting "In June 2023, Police Scotland created...". Warm regards all. AndyGordon (talk) 16:56, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Just stick with the Times then and probably add the Police Scotland Performance Report? Lukewarmbeer (talk) 19:36, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Lukewarmbeer I'd suggest keeping to the new info about BP, that police Scotland said they would make referrals to BP alongside referrals to RCS. No need for long quote from report. Just need to cite the Times source, and not the original report, a primary source - we're just summarising the new info re BP in the Times report. Thanks for asking. Warm regards.
