DASU is a specialist, non profit making organisation with charitable aims providing information, holistic support and advice to survivors of domestic abuse. If you are experiencing domestic abuse in ANY of its forms we can advocate on your behalf and help  to minimise the risk of further harm to yourself and your family. When necessary and appropriate we can refer you to crisis refuge accommodation and / or we can support you to access legal protection orders that help to make you and your family safer.

We have close links with other agencies and can utilise these to help you to continue to protect yourself in the future. When agencies work together (multi agency working) you, the domestic abuse survivor, should benefit from a more streamlined and comprehensive service. If the person who is abusing you is known to be a High Risk perpetrator of domestic abuse, you can have support to maximise your safety from  Flintshire’s Independent Domestic Violence Advisory Service (hosted by DASU) to liaise on your behalf with other organisations ensuring that you get a prompt service. Your allocated Independent Domestic Violence Adviser will have close links with the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service and she will be able to keep you informed on any criminal proceedings and support you through them. She will explain court procedures to you and help you to feel as comfortable and supported as possible in the choices / decisions that you make. Her role is independent from statutory organisations and her priority is your well being.

It may be that you are not sure whether you are experiencing domestic abuse and just want to talk to someone in confidence. You can contact us and we can talk to you on the phone or arrange to meet with you at the address given below.

Our services are free and confidential  and led by your needs and circumstances.
