Help and advice for people suffering from Domestic violence and Abuse

Help for those suffering Domestic Violence and Abuse in York

Domestic Abuse is something that we all hope will never happen to us. When it does the impact can be enormous, and doing something about can take a great deal of emotional and sometimes financial commitment.

On 18^th January 2010, a scheme was launched in York, which is free to those who qualify, and offers both support and easy access to the protection and remedies which are often available through the local county court.

Nigel Wilson and Natalie Smith from Ebor Law [Specialist Divorce and Family Lawyers], along with volunteer students from the College of Law, York, will be on hand to see clients, offer advice and assistance and also attend Court if necessary. 

This is a unique scheme in York and was set up due to Nigel and Natalie regularly coming across clients who needed the protection which can be afforded by a Court Order but were unable to apply due to financial constraints.

York Barristers chambers are assisting with the scheme and P & B Collections, a process servers based in Leeds have also offered their services and will be available to serve the Court Orders if and when granted.

The scheme was set up after consultation with IDAS [formerly Women’s Aid], Victim Support and North Yorkshire Police.

For more information and to see if you qualify for the scheme please contact IDAS on 01904 646036.
