Provides free, independent and confidential support to adults and children who have been a victim or witness of crime.
Type of support provided:
Emotional support- Caseworkers are trained to listen, empathise and recognise the emotional impact that crime can have on you.
Advocacy- We can contact services on your behalf to help (for example support from your local housing).
Specialist Support- We will help you find the appropriate support and make direct referrals.
Crime Prevention- We work with a specialist security service who can provide crime prevention and safety measures for added support.
Mental Health Support- We work alongside a mental health nurse who can help support around mental wellbeing.
Online platform for digital counselling- We have a digital platform called Qwell which is accessible for anyone aged 18 and over who have been affected by domestic abuse or sexual offences. The support is anonymous and allows you to have online contact with a counsellor about how it has impacted you.
Restorative Justice- Restorative Justice is a voluntary process which offers you the opportunity to potentially communicate with the offender to address any harm caused.
