Information and Advice

If someone is frightening you, controlling your money or isolating you from people you trust, it can be difficult to put a name to what is happening. SWACA has guides to recognising domestic abuse, coercive control and child-to-parent abuse.

Use SWACA’s directory of support organisations for help with children and families, alcohol and drugs, sexual abuse, stalking and other concerns.

• Galop offers specialist support for LGBTQIA+ people affected by abuse.
• Refuge’s Tech Safety website has advice if you are worried about someone monitoring your phone or accounts.
• Karma Nirvana supports people affected by honour-based abuse and forced marriage.

If you are unsure where to start, speak to the S-DAS team.
