We will talk to you about housing options if you can’t stay or return to your home because of domestic abuse. If you’ve reported the abuse to the Police, the Council can refer you to the Empower Safer Homes scheme, this will provide measures that would make your home is safe to live in.
If you’re at risk of or are experiencing domestic abuse you can access advice and support from the National Domestic Violence Helpline , a national service for women experiencing domestic violence, or for their family, friends, colleagues who need to call for advice.
