What to expect
Our conversations are confidential and you are under no commitment to follow a particular programme or continue with VOICES support unless you wish to do so. If we are worried about your safety at any stage we can decide what the next steps should be together.
If you or your children are in immediate danger or at risk of serious harm please call 999.
If you cannot speak and want to alert emergency services, please dial 999 and, when the operator answers, dial 55
We can support you
If you are ready to have a conversation with us, leave a safe number for us to call and a time that suits you either on our answer machine or via email.
No commitments, no record without your consent. Just a conversation.
