All Citizens Advice Rushmoor staff are trained support clients experiencing domestic abuse appropriately, including participation in the national Citizens Advice ASK RE programme. In addition, we offer the following specialist services which are delivered face-to-face in Rushmoor; and by phone and email for other areas.
Nepali Domestic Abuse Service
Our in-house Nepali Language Domestic Abuse Caseworker is a qualified IDVA (Independent Domestic Violence Adviser) funded through the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. She assists Nepali language speakers from the Armed Forces community (both serving and veterans and their families) to overcome language and cultural barriers to prevent and address domestic abuse.
To support and extend this work, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner in Hampshire has funded a post for a “Secure and Involved Communities” project. The worker employed supports the delivery of the project, as well as raising awareness and understanding of domestic abuse with Nepali communities across Hampshire.
You can learn more about this service, self-refer or refer a client for assistance by calling Aldershot Citizens Advice on 01252 333 618 or emailing [email protected]
