Domestic Abuse and Violence Emergency Legal Protection
A free, fast emergency injunction service to those at risk of all forms of domestic abuse regardless of their financial situation, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.
Self-referral- https://www.ncdv.org.uk/
- Domestic abuse is common and has been called an epidemic by the National Police Chiefs’ Council. Anyone can experience domestic abuse and it impacts people of all ages, genders and backgrounds.
- Our award-winning free service allows anyone who has recently experienced or been threatened with domestic abuse to apply for an emergency court injunction, including those who cannot access or afford legal aid funding. We assess each case based on their individual circumstances and advise on the most suitable course of action. We also signpost to other avenues of support.
- Once we receive a referral, we aim to make contact the next working day. Our streamlined service means that orders are often issued quickly and effectively. We work in close partnership with the police, solicitors and other agencies to help people obtain speedy protection, and we act as an ally to those working with victims and survivors out in the field
