CARA works with a range of other agencies, including Essex Police, the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), Social Services, the NHS and a wide range of voluntary and community sector organisations.
Since early 2016, CARA has been part of Synergy Essex, working closely with SERICC Rape and Sexual Abuse Specialist Service and Southend-on-Sea Rape Crisis (SOS Rape Crisis). Since April 2016, Synergy Essex has delivered the Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Contract for the provision of sexual abuse support services across Essex. The contract has been awarded until March 2029. Synergy Essex is also working together on a number of shared projects, with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, Essex County Council and the Ministry of Justice.
CARA is a member of Rape Crisis England and Wales and of the Survivors Trust.
