North Surrey Domestic Abuse Outreach

(Serving Epsom & Ewell, Elmbridge and Spelthorne)

Domestic Abuse represents one quarter of all violent crime. It is actual or threatened physical, emotional, psychological or sexual abuse. It involves the use of power and control by one person over another. It occurs regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, age, religion, mental or physical ability.

Are you being frightened, hurt or abused by a partner or family member?  

 In an emergency dial 999           

Our Services Explained

 In Surrey, we use the term domestic abuse, to reflect that a number of abusive and controlling behaviours are involved beyond violence. Other areas still use the term domestic violence but the agenda remains the same. Slapping, punching, kicking, bruising, rape, ridicule, constant criticism, threats, manipulation, sleep deprivation, social isolation, denying access to money and other controlling behaviours all count as abuse.

What we can offer?

Outreach Services can assist by giving practical help and emotional support as well as providing information on a wide range of matters, including housing matters, benefits, safety planning and the needs of children affected by domestic abuse. They can also assist with accessing refuge accommodation if you need to leave your home in order to keep yourself safe.

Support can be given by telephone or, where appropriate and safe, with one to one meetings. Outreach services offer anything from a one off opportunity to talk, to longer term, ongoing support and assistance. They will also help you deal with other agencies, in an advocacy role, to help you get the services or information that you need. This means they will support you in talking to the police, legal services, housing or benefits agencies etc, according to your wishes and needs. Outreach services are also able to talk to you about how to get appropriate legal information and advice.
