Domestic Abuse
Ochil View acknowledges that domestic abuse is a significant problem which has a devastating impact on survivors and their families. We recognise that domestic abuse is still largely a hidden crime measuring the true scale of the issue is difficult. We are committed to take all reasonable steps possible to combat the reality and impact of domestic abuse on those being abused and to challenge the behaviour of perpetrators.
We will work with other support providers to enable survivors to access a range of housing options, advice, information and support.
If you have or are experiencing domestic abuse then don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you need to speak to someone then please talk to your Housing Services Officer who will help you.
Women’s Aid is a registered charity who provide information, support and safe refuge accommodation to abused women and their children.
