    ACC is addressing problems with sexual abuse and assault survivors, seeking treatment

    ACC is addressing problems with sexual abuse and assault survivors, seeking treatment


    The agency says many people are facing challenges with its Integrated Services for Sensitive Claims - particularly with wait times.

    ACC Chief Executive Megan Main says it's streamlining the assessment process, and expanding treatment options to put survivors first.

    Victim Advocate Ruth Money says ACC has done well to consult groups in the sector on their needs.
