As part of the pilot language line have been working with our teams to help us to translate and make available the cards in the following languages:

• Arabic
• Kurdish Sorani
• Romanian
• Tigrinya
• Farsi

Thank you Languageline Solutions UK 💙

If you are a survivor of sexual abuse or violence you can show your card when you feel ready. It’s a gentle way to ask for care adjustments—like slower pacing, extra reassurance, or a chaperone.

Pick up a card in Gynaecology Outpatients reception or speak to a member of the team who are trauma aware and will be able to help you.

“I have found the cards really helpful and almost like a security blanket. I have found myself being able to express my needs safe in the knowledge that I have the card to help if I struggle. It has almost empowered me really. This is a fantastic project and very much needed.” – Andrea
