Welcome

As a second tier charity, our clients are other service providers so the information here is intended primarily for professionals whether you're a frontline worker, a policy officer or have strategic responsibilities.

You'll find lots of information on this website such as the services we offer our various projects, information about training and events as well as lots of information about what's going on in the sector and resources for you to download.

You'll also notice our related projects on the right-hand side, these are projects for whom we provide technical support: GLADA Women's Voices and the national LGBT Domestic Abuse Forum and a separate website, which is an on-line database of information and resources to help local areas implement the Co-ordinated Community response to Domestic Violence.
