Women's Aid provides a free, confidential service and will give information on all the options available to those who are experiencing domestic abuse. By contacting Women's Aid a woman is not committing herself to leaving her partner or home. Any decisions made by the women will be respected.
Women's Aid can provide
- A safe place to talk about how you are feeling.
- A confidential service – information will only be passed on if there are children at risk.
- Support whether a woman decides to leave or stay.
- Information on rights in relation to the law, money and benefits, housing, children etc. So the woman can make informed choices.
- Safe refuge accommodation if you need to leave home.
No pressure will be put on a woman to take legal action against her partner.
There is no limit to the number of times a woman can contact Women's Aid for information and support.
