About the service

This pilot is aimed at professionals who may be supporting survivors of domestic abuse. This could include housing officers, police officers, social workers, health visitors, and probation officers. We understand that it can be difficult to support survivors of domestic abuse without the ability to access specialist resources .Through this new pilot service, we can provide dedicated support to these professionals. This could be information about up-to-date refuge vacancies in a certain area, or other local specialist support, such as outreach, drop-ins, counselling services and advocacy projects.

Through this service we can also provide some essential information such as risk assessment and safety planning. We can provide information around other options that might be available for the client such as an injunction or other suitable referral pathways to alternative means of support.

This pilot is not aimed at professionals who already have access to the Routes to Support database.
