Fund aftercare in sexual offence cases where there is no conviction

We want the Government to provide funding for aftercare/support/counselling for individuals and their families in cases where someone has been accused of sexual offences, but these have not been proven. Many people in this situation do not receive the support they need.

When a person is accused of a sexual offences it affects the individual massively but also affects other members of their immediate family, both in the short and long term.

I feel if aftercare is given then the individuals can better go on to deal with the situation. I feel this should be offered to all individuals and their family in cases where no further action is taken, or there is an acquittal.
