| Women’s aid | Live Chat service: this could be a safer way to access some support; particularly if an abuser might also be in the property so it would be unsafe to make a telephone call. Women’s Aid would always want to encourage a survivor to be as safe as possible when accessing any form of support. It will be really important to familiarise yourself with information and guidance that will help to keep you as safe as possible when using online platforms. | Womens Aid Website Chathelpline@womensaid.org.uk Womens Aid Website |
