Domestic abuse services

About the directory

South Tyneside's Community Safety Partnership has produced this directory as a practical resource for professionals who work with adults and children affected by domestic violence and abuse, and for those who have themselves experienced, or are experiencing, domestic abuse.

It provides information about what support is available to those affected by domestic violence and abuse in South Tyneside.

If you have any comments on this directory then please contact community.safety@southtyneside.gov.uk

This directory is also available to download in PDF format South Tyneside Domestic Violence and Abuse Guide and Service Directory.

If you know someone who needs this information in a different format, for example large print, Braille or a different language, please call South Tyneside Council's Marketing and Communications team on 0191 424 7385.
