Domestic Abuse Policy
12 Domestic Abuse Housing Outreach Workers
The Housing Support Service has a team of Domestic Abuse Housing Outreach Workers who provide tailored advice and support to clients experiencing domestic abuse, to help break down housing barriers experienced by victims and survivors which can prevent them from leaving an abusive or violent relationship.
The team endeavour to work with clients who are deemed to be at high risk, repeat victims and survivors, or clients who may require additional support to engage with services.
Workers in this team are trained to respond to difficult disclosures and have a lower caseload to allow them extra time to work with their clients and assist with whatever they may need.
