The Victim Safety Team provides specialist advice, information, and support for victims of domestic abuse of all genders aged 16 and over across Blaenau Gwent.
Support is available for individuals currently in a relationship, as well as for those who have left or are considering leaving an abusive situation.
The Victim Safety Team is often the first point of contact for individuals seeking support. The team works closely with clients to explore their rights, options, and opportunities.
They provide one-to-one support to develop personalised safety plans, complete risk assessments, and offer practical advice and assistance to those in need.
The team also works in partnership with a wide range of agencies to ensure each client’s safety and voice remain at the centre of all decisions. These agencies include the Police, Probation Service, Health and Social Services, Mental Health Teams, Substance Misuse Teams, Housing, and Court and Legal Services, among others.
