Refuge - Warwickshire Domestic Violence and Abuse (WDVA) Service is a countywide service that offer help and support to women, men and children experiencing VAWG or domestic violence and abuse (including rape, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, coercion and control, economic abuse, harmful practices (FGM), forced marriage, and so called ‘honour-based abuse’ in Warwickshire).
If you live in Warwickshire, you can call 0800 408 1552 to speak to a support worker. If you are not able to call, please email DVSW@refuge.org.uk.
You can also contact the Police on 101, or Refuge via the number above if you have concerns about a friend, relative or neighbour. Please do report any concerns as those who are being abused may not have the opportunity to safely reach out for support themselves at the current time.
Anyone affected by domestic abuse or violence against women and girls (VAWG) including if you have concerns over someone you know, can contact Refuge on 0800 408 1552.
