The council commissions an independent domestic and sexual abuse service, run by Refuge, to support ALL victim/survivors - including men of domestic and sexual abuse.  

They are here to provide you with free expert advice and guidance to make you feel safer and are available for as long as needed. The service responds to high risk as well as moderate risk of domestic abuse and supports people to recover and rebuild their lives.
