Temporary Solutions
Is there any place I can flee to?
A refuge is a safe house for women and children escaping domestic violence. The Refuges are across England and the address is unknown. Remember that you do not need to have experienced physical violence to go into a refuge and you do not need to have children. There will be expert, female staff at the refuge who can provide support. You can access a refuge placement by contacting the National Domestic Abuse Help Line on 0808 2000 247, or your Local Authority. (North Warwickshire Borough Council - 01827715341).
