Our Children and Young Peoples Service provides support to you if you are a child or young person living in our refuge. We can also offer support for children living in the community. See more details on our Children and Young People’s Outreach page . Our specialist Project Workers will help children and young people to settle into the refuge and begin to think about your feelings around the domestic abuse they have been seeing, hearing and feeling. The workers will also help children and young people  and their parent or carer learn about things like staying safe, being healthy, enjoying and achieving.

What’s on Offer?

• Younger children and baby play- learning through play for children not yet school age. .
• Family sessions time with mum/ carer doing something together.
• Children’s house meetings- a chance to talk about things like being safe, living with other families in the refuge and helping each other.
• Help to find a new school
