Children and young people’s service

These services prioritise the needs of the children who use our services and have either witnessed or experienced domestic abuse.

We provide a range of support including one to one support, after school clubs, playschemes, help with enrolling in schools and nurseries, a dedicated resettlement worker to help children integrate into their new communities when they leave the safe house.

Many of the children and young people we house come from black and ethnic minority communities, some come to us from a war zone in another country and others have been uprooted from their communities. Our children’s workers reflect a wide cultural diversity and can offer culturally sensitive support and understanding and use play as a way of helping the children express some of the feelings they feel about their situation.
