9 people have been killed in 4 separate domestic incidents in the second week of UK lock down.
It is vital that we work together to keep our service users and communities safe from violence and abuse.

GDASS are still in operation and are working hard with our partner agencies to ensure business as usual for those experiencing domestic abuse.

We are having to be more creative with how we do this, but we are still supporting existing clients and our helpdesk and online forms are still working for those who need support who may not have spoken to us before.

We can still help get people out of abusive households, we can still help people get to places of safety, and we are still working closely with police to hold perpetrators of abuse to account.

How can you help?

Are you providing service users with regular updates and advice?

One of our GP surgeries (thank you Hadwen!) is providing their patients with text updates, and is including GDASS contact info in one of these. This is a great idea!

Perhaps one of your service user updates could include information on DA and how to access support?

How can we help you?

We are looking into how we can provide you with online DA training and refreshers whilst we are unable to provide face to face training. We will keep you updated.

If professionals needs advice on how to talk to service users about DA over the phone, or how to respond safely and appropriately during lock down, please contact us via our website and we can support you in supporting your service users.
