Since I stopped doing legal aid work I have not had many domestic violence injunctions but in future when I am consulted by someone suffering domestic violence then I may well recommend that they read Women's Aid's 'Survivor's Handbook'. The Handbook can be found on the Women's Aid website here. It contains excellent practical help on dealing with domestic violence, from housing to legal advice to health issues.As mentioned above, I do very few non-legal aid domestic violence injunctions. This suggests that there may be many people out there who are having to suffer continued violence and abuse simply because they can't afford to get help. Hopefully, the Handbook will at least provide some assistance to such people.
