Domestic Violence and Abuse

Domestic Violence and Abuse

Domestic violence is any threatening behaviour, violence or abuse that takes place in an intimate or family-type relationship. It is a pattern of controlling behaviour.

Camden SafetyNet have produced a new guide and training resources on with essential information for staff who work with residents on how to recognise the signs of abuse and where to go for help. Further information can be found in the guide.

The National Stalking Helpline, provided by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, ensures that victims receive the support they need to cope and manage their situation.

They provide:

  • a robust risk assessment
  • safety planning advice
  • support for people around preserving evidence and recording incidents in a manner which assists police in recognising and investigating stalking
  • detailed information on relevant criminal and civil legislation
  • assessment of safeguarding concerns with appropriate action.

If you are working with someone who you believe is being stalked, if they are receiving unwanted, repeated behaviour from an individual who is fixated and obsessed, the Helpline's dedicated advocates are available to support victims in London.

Call the National Stalking Helpline on 0808 802 0300.

Lines are open from 9:30am to 4pm weekdays (9:30am to 1pm Wednesday).
