NIDAS

People in Norfolk who are at medium or high risk of serious harm from domestic abuse can now access a new service to support their journey to freedom.

 

Norfolk Integrated Domestic Abuse Service (NIDAS) offers free, confidential, and non-judgemental support to those affected, and their children, to help them escape and recover from abuse.

 

The NIDAS service is made up of a partnership of Tier 1 and Tier 2 providers which includes Leeway and Safe Partnership.

 

Domestic abuse is an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour, including sexual violence.

 

NIDAS’ trauma-informed, person-centred, skilled staff can support those at risk of harm to get to safety and will develop a personalised action plan with everyone they work with, to help people to move on from abuse with increased confidence and well-being. The service is operational seven days per week, between 9am and 6:30pm on weekdays, and between 9am and 3pm on weekends.
