Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

If you feel threatened or at risk of violence there are services in Redbridge, provided by Refuge, that can help you.  Violence against women and girls can affect anyone.  Nobody should have to live in fear.

As part of the Redbridge VAWG, services are available to create a safety and support plan which includes personal safety information, support if you need to contact the police, support in relation to going to court, securing an injunction, safe housing options, safe child contact, and opportunities to discuss concerns and fears with someone that understands.

The team based in Redbridge includes specialist gender-based violence advocates to support women and men who are at risk of serious harm; a young people’s advocate for young girls aged 14 – 17 years old; and a children’s outreach worker who works with children and the non-abusing parent.
