Domestic Abuse information and contact details

As you will no doubt be aware, the home is not likely to be a safe place for many people affected by domestic abuse

…especially when there are going to be additional pressures on families due to illness, self-isolation, social distances, financial pressures and spending more time together without being able to leave the home for work or leisure activities.

It is likely to be more difficult for a victim to call and speak to someone for safety planning information or access a computer without alerting the perpetrator. Safer North Hampshire have provided some information for those trying to support someone. Alongside the specialist domestic abuse services, there are also details of the local Citizens Advice branches and housing teams as financial and housing concerns are likely to lead to increased pressure in households.

Safety Planning

Alongside normal safety planning information, the following may be helpful if domestic abuse specialist services aren’t already involved and have agreed safety plans in place (for example if you are concerned about a work colleague / neighbour / client):

  • Consider setting up a system whereby the victim sends you a pre-determined code word by a certain time of day to let you know if they are OK (or not)
  • Agree with the victim what should happen if you don’t receive this message – eg should you alert the police / contact their designated safe person etc
  • Try to call the person regularly (if safe to do so), in order to reduce isolation
  • Reinforce the message to call 999 in an emergency
Useful Local Contact Details: the below services have, or are developing plans to enable people to access support during the Coronavirus pandemic with additional details on their websites

  • Pamber parish council were really pleased with the support provided by Action Hampshire’s Rural Housing Enabler helping us through the development process. It was a good experience.

    Chris Goss, Pamber Parish Council
  • Action Hampshire has always been a useful font of information for us at Winchester Churches Nightshelter. Sue has always been really helpful, and I do find the updates from the ‘wider’ world to be of interest.

    Michèle Price, Winchester Churches Nightshelter
  • Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.

    Juno Hollyhock, The Rose Road Association
  • I have found Action Hampshire to be truly innovative and forward thinking in their approach to their work and their passion for the voluntary and community sector is easily measured through their work to help improve the lives of all sections of the community.

    Grant Cornwell, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
  • Action Hampshire are the most fantastic organisation and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. They are very positive and easy to work with, from Rachel’s warmth on the front desk all the way up to Sue’s vast knowledge and experience on the top floor.

    George Scott-Welsh, IncuHive
