What support is available to those experiencing domestic abuse?
Unfortunately domestic abuse is very common. The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone and there is lots of support within the University and from our community services to help you.
The Government definition of domestic violence and abuse is, 'Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality'. This can encompass, but is not limited to, the following types of abuse:
- Psychological
- Physical
- Sexual
- Financial
- Emotional.
You can access support through the following services:
