We are here for you if you are affected by domestic abuse
If you’re worried about feeling safe in your relationship, talking to someone about how you’re feeling can be the first step to getting the right support.
Breaking the cycle of abuse
From weekly surgeries and Drop-ins and one to one help, Safe in Salford aims to provide all the support you need to stabilise your situation and break free from domestic abuse.
Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) will support people to achieve safety through risk management, advice and advocacy. IDVAs will provide signposting and referrals into relevant organisations developing a package of support tailored to the individual’s needs.
Listening, understanding, practical help & support
Our Community/Step down provision will provide outreach support offering advice and support sessions delivered by trained professionals who understand the impact and consequences of domestic abuse. These sessions will cover safety and support planning, practical, emotional health, housing, welfare, debt and legal issues.
You can talk to doctors, nurses and other staff working at your GP Practice and request a referral for support relating to domestic abuse through our IRIS service. We will undertake risk assessments, safety plan, provide options and support. In addition, we offer support for children and young people affected by domestic abuse in their families helping them in forming positive, healthy relationships. Support can also be offered to young people displaying harmful behaviour in their own relationships.
