Find out more about how to make a referral for a victim of domestic abuse so that they can access specialist support.
Domestic abuse, or domestic violence, includes a range of abusive behaviour (either physical, sexual, financial, psychological or emotional) between people 16 years or older, who are or were intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender.
Asking for help isn’t easy, but if you think you’re in an abusive relationship, getting in touch with your local support service can be an important first step. There are specialist support workers available to help and support you via the domestic abuse hub. However if you would prefer to search for information yourself and access support away from the Domestic Abuse Hub, there are many organisations and charities that can offer confidential advice and support.
A full training programme is available for professionals in relation to their job role. This training is multi agency and free of charge.
The Doncaster domestic abuse hub is there for ALL victims of domestic abuse. You will be listened to and treated with respect at all times. However, if you would like more specialist support there is help available for you.
Domestic abuse can continue to impact on our lives for many years after the abuse has ended. Individual and group support is now available for survivors. We have a laugh, we have a cry and we are there for each other. Together we can also make a change and help other people that are going through what we have. We can influence policy makers to improve services and make a difference.
This page gives you details of local, regional and national initiatives relating to domestic abuse. If you have a domestic abuse service that you would like to promote on this page please contact karen.shooter@doncaster.gov.uk
This page contains the latest versions of the Doncaster domestic abuse strategy and other local and national policies and protocols to support professionals in tackling domestic abuse.
