We are a specialist service for Deaf Adults and Children who have experienced abuse.

We are the only domestic abuse service in the UK that communicates with Deaf people directly, using a variety of communication methods, predominantly British Sign Language.

Communicating in sign language means we are able to offer Dead people the support and advice they need, in a language they can understand.

We work with people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearingm we also support families that have Deaf parents but hearing children; hearing parents and Deaf children.

Our services work to the neds of the family and can meet to discuss issues in whatever locations work for them.

We run a number of Health Relationship workshops throughout London - these are advertised as a and when applicable.
