Domestic violence

Independent Futures runs a refuge for women in Cornwall and has services specially developed to support victims of domestic abuse.

The Government defines domestic violence as "Any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality." This includes issues of concern to black and minority ethnic (BME) communities such as so called 'honour killings'.

Our specialist staff and services support and facilitate victims of domestic violence to live successful, independent lives free of violence and fear.

For more information contact us on: 01752 856080 or 856081.
