FAQs
What happens after I contact TDAS?
You’ll speak with a trained Domestic Abuse Advisor who will listen without judgement. They’ll explain your options and offer practical and emotional support. Everything you say is confidential (unless there’s a serious risk of harm).
What support is there for children affected by domestic abuse?
TDAS offers emotional and practical support for children and young people, including 1:1 sessions, group programmes like RSpace© and family-focused interventions to rebuild relationships after abuse. Children are now recognised as victims in their own right under the Domestic Abuse Act.
What if I don’t want the police involved?
That’s OK. You can still receive help without involving the police. We won’t force you to take any action you’re not ready for. We’ll support you to make informed choices at your own pace.
Can TDAS help with housing if I need to leave my home?
Yes. We can support you with accessing refuge accommodation, our community properties or move-on housing. Our Homeless Move-On Advisors also work with local councils and housing providers to reduce homelessness due to domestic abuse.
Do you support people with disabilities or complex needs?
Yes. We provide accessible refuge accommodation, adapted safety planning, and person-centred outreach support. We also offer services for survivors facing mental health, substance use or neurodivergence-related challenges.
Is support available in different languages?
Yes. We can provide interpreting services and translated materials when needed. We’ll always try to match you with culturally appropriate support where possible.
