Domestic abuse and violence

We take all incidents of domestic abuse and violence within North Somerset seriously and offer advice and help where needed.

To be in an abusive relationship does not mean you have to be hit and hurt and there are other types of abuse which are just as harmful.

It may be that your current or previous partner is verbally threatening you, always telling you how rubbish or ugly you are or that you are not allowed any money or friends.

It may be that you have ended a relationship but there are issues about your children having contact, leaving you frightened for your and their safety.

In all these cases you can find someone to help through the North Somerset Domestic Abuse Forum website.

For further information please contact our Domestic Abuse Co-ordinator on 01275 888 355.

For further information and contacts for other organisations who support victims of abuse please download our Domestic Abuse leaflet.

Alternatively, if you need to speak to someone for free confidential support advice call the Domestic Abuse freephone number on 0800 69 449 999.
