Domestic abuse

 **The ‘Quick Exit’ button on the top of this page should be used if you need to leave this page in an emergency. It will take you straight to Google but it will not delete your browsing history. If you are not using a private browsing window, you will need to delete your browsing history.**

Domestic abuse can happen to people of all genders, ages and ethnicities. Domestic abuse can be between intimate partners, but also in other types of relationships, e.g. parent and child.

Domestic abuse includes a range of abusive behaviours, not all of which are violent in a physical sense.

If you are in immediate danger, call the police on 999.

You can report abuse to us via the online form.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, you can call the 24-hour freephone National Domestic Violence Helpline on 080 8200 0247.

There are also number of local and national advice and support agencies that specialise in cases of domestic abuse.

Like this page, many of these websites have a ‘Quick Exit’ sign or icon, which will take visitors to another unrelated website in an emergency.

How we can help

You can report abuse to us via the online form.

Our Antisocial Behaviour team can offer advice and support to victims. They work with the Council and other specialist agencies to help victims take action.

Results from the Office for National Statistics crime survey suggests 2.3 million adults aged 16-74 experienced domestic abuse last year in the UK. We offer support for domestic abuse, and are currently helping 65 residents who have experienced this.
We have a specialist domestic abuse support worker, June Baptiste, who has over 30 years’ experience supporting survivors. June works closely with support agencies, police and housing partners to ensure our residents get the help they need. Our team can also assist residents with financial, personal and family matters, arrange urgent temporary accommodation, and support moves for survivors of abuse. We never judge.
We’re here to help.

The team can help by:

  • Carrying out interviews in a supportive and sympathetic manner.
  • Where possible, conducting interviews with victims by a person of the same sex and/or cultural background as the victim.
  • Providing advice to victims on the possible courses of action, both to respond to the immediate situation and to deal with issues in the longer term.
  • Ensuring our staff are trained to deal with those reporting domestic abuse.
  • Carrying out repairs to make victims of domestic abuse feel more secure in their home.
  • In high risk cases, we may make a Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference.
  • Putting victims in touch with organisations that can help, such as Athena, Galop,
    IKWRO, DeafHope, the police and local authorities.

If you require emergency accommodation outside of office hours, please ring 0208 314 7007.
