Crisis Intervention Service
The Crisis Intervention Service is a pioneering new service funded by the Northern Rock Foundation, which promotes a structured multi-agency approach to tackling domestic violence. Practical and emotional support is provided, for adult victims and their children, at the point of crisis, as well as longer term advocacy advice and empowerment. In addition, we provide early interventions with perpetrators, which hold them accountable for their actions and offer opportunities for change.
The Crisis Intervention Service can be accessed via the Police, as part of an improved response to 999 calls made as a result of an incident of domestic violence. |
