A support service for women experiencing domestic abuse offering general advice and signposting to other services, as well as specific advice on risk and safety assessment/ planning, court accompaniment and legal issues. The service is also preventative by helping women increase their safety at home and is also a post-Refuge support.

I am experiencing domestic abuse – can I refer myself to this service?
