Domestic abuse support services

Individuals who experience domestic abuse do not always have additional needs for care and support, but you may still work with or alongside those who need assistance in prevention or protection outside of the safeguarding (s42 Care Act) process. This can include physical, financial or emotional abuse, coercion and control, or other domestic abuse aspects.

When working with and supporting those adults, there may be times when you feel you need more information or advice from more specialist services.

Across the county, there are a wide range of those additional services available depending on the need / location.

Below are links to a variety of services, charities, and local and national helplines.

If anyone is at immediate risk of harm, phone the police on 999. The silent solution: If you can’t speak or make a sound when calling 999, listen to the operator’s questions, then tap the handset. If prompted, press 55. Your call will be transferred to police who will know it’s an emergency.
