Encompass is a Scottish network of agencies working with people at risk of becoming involved in, who are currently involved in, or who have exited selling or exchanging sexual activity / commercial sexual exploitation (CSE).  
MEMBERSHIP
The core membership of Encompass network is open to all those Scottish organisations who;
  • provide services and support to those who have been, currently are or at risk of becoming involved in commercial sexual exploitation and
  • are in receipt of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAW&G) funds from the Scottish Government and / or
  • use a VAW&G approach in their work.

The safety and well-being of those involved in the sex industry is  of prime concern to all Encompass agencies. We acknowledge the value and importance in engaging with the differing approaches in operation in Scotland and key stakeholders.

In order to disseminate and share the learning, Encompass makes information, training and resources available to a wider grouping of agencies eg. homelessness, addictions, mental health, adult support and protection, charities and voluntary sector agencies.

Check out our Inside Outside  project – giving voice to those involved in Scotland's sex industry.   Running for 6 months from August 2016 – April 2017, we hope their words and photos  will be viewed by a wider audience across the country.
If you have experienced any violence and abuse whilst in the sex industry, you can make reports either directly to the police or via the National Ugly Mugs scheme.
