Domestic abuse

We recognise that domestic abuse can be a terrifying experience and will work with you and all relevant agencies, including the police.  If you need help please contact your Housing Officer.

If you wish to stay in your home we can help by installing extra security measures.  On the other hand, if you are too afraid to stay then we will investigate suitable temporary accommodation.

You can get practical help and advice from the Stroud Beresford Group at www.stroudwomensrefuge.org.

Other useful contacts and information can be found on Stroud District Council’s web page Domestic abuse and sexual violence and I am experiencing domestic violence

There is also a free and confidential National Domestic Violence Helpline run by Women's Aid and Refuge.  It's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
