Women-centred | Women-led | Survivor-informed | Trauma-informed
Our specialist Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) service is women-centred and women-led. We are committed to providing safe, specialist support for women and children affected by domestic abuse and other forms of violence and abuse.
Our approach is grounded in trauma-informed practice and survivor-informed learning, ensuring services are shaped by lived experience and focused on safety, dignity and recovery.
We also recognise that men can be victims of domestic abuse. A separate support pathway is available for male victims and survivors, delivered through trauma-informed, gender-responsive and needs-led practice.
