Crisis Cards

It is important that victims of domestic violence have access to key telephone numbers for help in an emergency situation. Leaflets cannot always be hidden easily from perpetrators so the DV Co-ordinator has produced a credit card sized 'crisis card' with vital information about local and national domestic violence support services that people can easily keep concealed about their person. We will be making these available in various public places but if you would like your own supply to give to service-users please contact Kelly Whitehead at kelly.whitehead@rbk.kingston.gov.uk or on 020 8547 5040.
