Crime, antisocial behaviour & nuisance Domestic abuse - help and support

Help to stay living in your home without the abusive person

If the abusive person no longer lives with you we can help you stay living safely in your own home, if this is what you want.

We can help get legal action to stop the domestic abuse and help make your home more secure.

Advice and support

We can provide practical and emotional support:

  • helping you get expert help on mental health, drugs or alcohol
  • putting you in touch with other helpful organisations
  • advising you about clearing debts, sorting out rent and bills, managing money and claiming benefits
  • giving you tips about making the most of your neighbourhood - finding shops and services, looking for a job or training course, and making use of leisure time

We'll talk through problems with you, and agree a 'support plan' that tells you what to expect from us, and how often we'll visit.  After a time you shouldn't need us any more. But you can always come back if you need help in the future.
