Educate

The Community on for example risk factors indicating potential danger and identifying safe opportunities for early intervention

Train

Public bodies on collaborating effectively with victims and holding effective reviews

We offer practical and emotional support after fatal domestic abuse incidents. So if you are in turmoil after a loved one has died through domestic abuse and you could do with some understanding and assistance - we will try our best to help you.

First, you might just need someone who is willing to listen to your story. We recognise how important that is and we are here to do just that. But then you might need help to establish exactly what happened and we have personal experience of some of the problems you may encounter. We can help you understand some ways to make enquiries and help you with this endeavour if you wish.

We know about some other services which could help you too, - so if we can't help you directly we will put you in touch with others that may be able to.

We also wish to contribute to reducing the number of such tragedies and are working with other agencies to increase awareness and provide support in the early stages of domestic abuse.

If you think we may be able to help you, please get in touch to talk through your situation - that's what we are here for.
