SWDVCAS: Our Aim

The aim of the service is to give each woman who is in a domestic violence situation and is seeking a restraining order (also called an AVO) access to a solicitor and the assistance of a support worker.

This joint initiative is available to ensure that a woman's right to safety is protected through the legal process and that other problems affecting women in this situation are properly addressed
