Domestic Abuse - Further support organisations

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.

For confidential advice, information and support, call the Domestic Abuse Hub on 01302 737080, email dahub@doncaster.gov.uk This service is available 9am - 4.30pm Monday - Friday (excluding bank holidays).  During this time the line might be busy so please keep trying or leave a message including whether it is safe to call you back and you will be called back as soon as possible.  

Adults:

• apply for information about your current or ex-partner because you're worried they may have a history of abuse and are a risk to you
• request information about the current or ex-partner of a friend or relative because you're worried they might be at risk
• Request information under Clare's Law
