Women -
On admission to refuge, our workers can offer emotional and practical support. Once a woman/family has settled into their accommodation, workers will work provide support to identify needs and develop a plan to address these. Children & Young People –
Coming to refuge can feel daunting, especially for children. There are dedicated refuge workers who provide specialist domestic abuse support to children and young people. The refuge building has a dedicated playroom which is well-resourced with various age-appropriate toys and activities to enable children to escape from their worries. Children and young people are provided with the same confidentiality remit as adults using the service. This ensures they are provided with a safe space to explore and process emotions. This space is provided within the limits of Child Protection and this is made clear to all children and young people. |
