Ms Noeline Blackwell:

I may not be explaining what we do properly. Our job is to support everybody who walks in our door who has suffered trauma as a result of rape or whose family member or whatever has suffered trauma. We are there to support all of those people to work out their own lives. We are not there to make any judgments on them. We will not and do not make judgments.
