Domestic Violence

Do you, or someone you know suffer from Domestic Violence?

"Domestic violence is any threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between adults who are or have been in a relationship, or between family members. It can affect anybody, regardless of their gender or sexuality.

The violence can be psychological, physical, sexual or emotional. It can include 'honour-based violence', female genital mutilation, and forced marriage." (Home Office Website)

SAHA takes the pain, anguish and fear caused by domestic violence, and the threat of domestic violence very seriously. If you have any concerns, please speak to your Housing Officer or CSC.

This link will take you to the Home Office (government) website, that can advise you further; the one below will take you to

Womens' Aid, who also operate a 24 hour free helpline on  0808 2000 247  

The attached leaflet, also from the home office, offers you advice if you believe someone may be suffering from domestic violence.
