Access to support

Beyond the immediate physical and emotional harm caused, domestic abuse and sexual violence (DASV) and violence against women and girls (VAWG) have far-reaching and long-lasting impacts on adults and children.

Safer Cornwall lead in implementing the shared DASV and VAWG strategies. Further information, guidance and support service details are available on the Safer Cornwall website https://safercornwall.co.uk/domestic-abuse-sexual-violence/
