Legal Protection from Domestic Violence
This inforgraphic detailing the legal protection from domestic violence in the UK, was kindly provided by Laker Legal Solicitors . Domestic violence and abuse is becoming more prevalent each year. This may be due to people becoming more aware of abusive situations or that more victims are plucking up the courage to report the abuse they’re being subjected to. The infographic provides an outline of the different types of abuse, the scale of the problem – along with some myths debunked and the legal action which can be taken against the perpetrators. You do not have to be suffering in silence. There are also some charities and support groups included, which will be able to assist you. Being the victim of domestic violence and abuse is frightening to say the least but remember you have human and legal rights, so use them and put an end to the abuse you’re suffering !

We aim to provide instant, effective protection against domestic violence and give advice to anyone who seeks it. We offer: - A One Stop Shop We offer our services completely free. We never have and never will charge for our services. NCDV is an independent, self-funding organisation that works with police forces, Refuge, Women's Aid, Victim Support and Citizens' Advice Bureaux across England. We provide a free, fast service to those who have experienced domestic violence. We specialise in offering legal support, making it possible to seek legal advice as well as court assistance. In practice, this usually means helping individuals to apply for an injunction at their local county court. To do this we use firms of local solicitors and trained volunteers who act as "McKenzie Friends". This means we can offer an emergency service to victims of domestic violence whatever their financial circumstances, including those who do not qualify for legal aid. If you need any further information about NCDV, or to learn more about applying for a Non-Molestation Order or other forms of injunction, contact us on 0844 8044 999, or visit our website www.ncdv.org.uk |
