Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council have collaborated (on behalf of the Southern Cambridgeshire Domestic Abuse Task Group) a directory that lists contact details of organisations that can help you or someone you know who is being affected by domestic violence. The directory is split into various subjects, with telephone numbers, email and postal addresses, and direct hyperlinks to organisations' websites.
There are no hard copies versions of the directory available, due to the nature of the document and the need to ensure that it is kept up-to-date but you can download a copy on Cambridge City Council web site (link on the right).
The document has contact details relating to the following topics:
- Black and minority ethnic (BME)
- Children and young people
- Counselling, support and advice
- Drugs and alcohol misuse
- Emergencies and the Police
- Health
- Housing and accommodation
- Legal services
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
- Male victims
- Money and finances
- People with disabilities
- Rape or sexual abuse
- Support for families
