Helplines for Domestic Abuse Victims
We can only imagine the physical, mental and emotional toll that domestic abuse and violence can have on someone. However, it is extremely important that you are aware there is support available for any victim.
Havering Council’s website has guidance advice on reporting domestic abuse, advice on seeking help, and more information which can all be accessed through their website - Domestic violence | The London Borough Of Havering
We have pasted the different organisations, as outlined on the Council’s website, on the following page.
Coronavirus Guidance
The Government has announced a four-step roadmap for the lifting of coronavirus restrictions. To view the latest guidance on what you can now do, please use the below link.
Finding Work
Finding work can feel like a daunting task in which it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start, particularly if you are considering a change in career or lost your job unexpectedly. To help, we are hosting regular Jobs, Apprenticeship and Skills Fairs to bring employers directly to constituents and we have compiled a guide to highlight the assistance available into jobs, apprenticeships and retraining opportunities.
