The National Centre for Domestic Violence provides a free, fast emergency injunction service to survivors of domestic violence regardless of their financial circumstances, race, gender or sexual orientation.
Our award-winning service allows anyone who has recently suffered or been threatened with domestic violence to apply for an emergency court injunction.
