Refuge - Warrington Independent Domestic Violence and Abuse Service

We support women and men experiencing domestic abuse in Warrington. Our independent domestic violence advocates and outreach workers:

• Provide emotional and practical support to victims from the point of crisis
• Offer intensive support to help ensure short, medium and long term safety
• Provide information and guidance on civil and criminal court proceedings and legal options
• Empower victims to make informed decisions about their safety, and the safety of their children
• Help victims access other specialist support e.g. refuge accommodation

If you are experiencing domestic violence it may help to remember the following:

• You are not alone
• The abuse is not your fault
• Your partner's behaviour will only change if they recognise they have a problem and take responsibility for changing their abusive behaviour
• Domestic violence is against the law
• Help is available - contact the Refuge Warrington Independent Domestic Violence Advocacy Service
• If you are in immediate danger call 999

This is a confidential service - information is only shared with relevant agencies if there is a risk of harm to yourself or any children.
