1 Domestic abuse East Surrey Contact Directory
2 Introduction Domestic abuse comes in many forms. It can include psychological, emotional, financial, sexual and physical abuse. Just because it doesn't show doesn't mean it doesn't matter. It can happen to anyone, regardless of class, gender, age, race, sexuality, faith or disability. In the home or from an ex-partner. The first step you need to take to stop the abuse is to recognise that you are being abused and that you do not deserve it. Domestic abuse is a crime - in an emergency dial 999. There are local and national agencies which can help support and advise you. You may want some information, just want someone else to know or need to escape to somewhere safe. This directory aims to give you contact details for local and national organisations which will be able to give you help, advice and support.
3 Local council help and contacts Your local council may be able to help you through one of the schemes available. Help offered such as somewhere to stay will depend on your circumstances, including immigration status. Some of the options available are: Sanctuary Scheme - offering a range of individually tailored security improvements enabling victims to stay safely in their own homes. Surrey Mobility Scheme - helping existing tenants of social landlords transfer to alternative accommodation within Surrey. Private rented accommodation - help with finding alternative accommodation. This may include assistance with some of the costs involved, such as security deposits and bonds. Making a homeless application - you have the right to make an application to any council as homeless. However, the relevant criteria does need to be satisfied before a council has a duty to find you somewhere to live. Information is also available regarding legal issues such as injunctions, occupation orders and exclusion orders, as well as referrals to agencies who can assist in obtaining them.
