Domestic abuse
We run a one-stop shop for domestic abuse services for people of all backgrounds. While at our “Assia Suite”, you can access:
- advice and guidance
- a refuge
- a risk assessment so specialists can tailor support to you and your family
- safety planning
Also this is the route to get support for children who have experienced domestic abuse. What’s more, the service is confidential so you don’t have to give your name.
Drop in for domestic abuse services
