We offer quality support to those identified as high risk of Domestic Abuse. The support we offer is focussed on the safety of the service user, their children and any others at risk, in accordance with the CAADA (Co-ordinated Action Against Domestic Abuse) principles.

| Professionals from any agency can refer to us, however all professionals need to link in with their MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference) representative. Appropriate referrals will be passed through to Blackpool Advocacy simultaneously. Only cases that have been risk assessed as 'high risk' and referred to MARAC will be accepted by the IDVA service. When referring a case to MARAC, the MARAC referral form should then be forwarded to the IDVA Service. |
If you are unsure about the process or how to proceed with a particular case then we are happy to offer advice and support. Please phone us on 01253 405959 and ask to speak to a member of the IDVA team.

Men and women who are Blackpool residents and are at high risk of domestic violence can be referred to the IDVA service. However, only cases that have been risk assessed, classed as 'high' and referred onto MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference) will be accepted by the IDVA service. We do not accept self referral.
