Staying Safe
Staying Safe is a partnership between the Youth Service and domestic abuse services.
It provides domestic abuse support, advice and guidance to children and young people who may be at risk of harmful relationships or who are living, or have lived, in households where domestic abuse is present.
The project focuses on early help, safety, recovery and resilience, alongside education around healthy and respectful relationships, so young people feel informed, supported and safer in their lives and relationships.
