How we can help

How we can help you

Angus Housing Association will provide support and assistance to victims of domestic abuse.

We will listen to you and with your permission make referrals to specialist support agencies such as Dundee & Angus’s Womens’ Aid, Women’s Rape & Sexual Assault Serviced and Male Domestic Service (AMIS)

We will assist you to remain in your home where it is safe to do so and can undertake a range of measures to help you feel safer in your home such as fitting external lighting, additional door locks and security chains.

When victims need to move 

If victims need to move we will do all that we can to assist in identifying alternative accommodation. We do not have emergency provision but can support you in contacting Womens’ Aid and/or a local authority as they have a statutory duty to provide accommodation to those fleeing domestic abuse.  We will still retain a duty of care to you should you wish to be re-housed by Angus Housing Association. 

If you’ve been threatened or feel unsafe

Call the police on 999 if you need protection immediately. If it’s too dangerous to speak, dial ‘55‘ on your mobile when you’re prompted. You can also let the operator know you need help by tapping the phone or making a noise.
