If you haven’t already, you will soon start seeing our domestic abuse posters displayed in your clinical area across the Trust.

We have launched the posters to increase both colleague and public awareness around the public health issue of domestic abuse. All our hospitals are domestic abuse awareness hospitals and can offer support and advice to anyone walking through our doors.  We are a safe haven that victims may feel able to access for support.

If you are approached from a patient or member of the public requesting support, find a quiet area to speak to them and reassure that you can help.

We have the following points of contact if you need any safeguarding advice.
