FOR PROFESSIONALS OR SELF REferrals
REFERRING CLIENTS TO DAISY PROGRAMME
We support people who have experienced domestic abuse or sexual abuse (aged 16 and over). High and medium risk domestic abuse referrals in Breckland, Kings Lynn and West Norfolk, and North Norfolk are via the NIDAS service:
Contact: NIDAS (nidasnorfolk.co.uk)
For other abuse survivors, living in Breckland, we offer an initial assessment, which provides an opportunity to discuss needs, and agree a journey of support with us in a safe, non-judgemental way. Our support is client-led and each client will have a personal caseworker to guide them to recovery. Please note, that sexual abuse survivors will not be asked about the incident or incidents that led to the referral, unless they wish to discuss this.
Client support might include safety planning, advocacy work, practical support, understanding rights to healthy relationships, awareness of perpetrators behaviours, re-building self-confidence and self-worth. We are able to offer short term counselling for clients who have more complex issues - from six sessions initially with an option to extend up to a maximum of eighteen.
Through our support, clients gain control of their lives by joining a community of others who have been on similar journeys, raising strength and confidence. We will give tools and techniques to enable survivors to be better equipped to make positive future life choices for themselves and their children. With our support survivors will feel more confident about managing their own journey into the future.
Daisy Programme is also keen to provide ongoing support to our clients through our Peer Support Groups, which are facilitated by our volunteers, when the more formal support has ended. We understand that clients who live with or who have left an abusive relationship may have ongoing issues and in the groups these can be discussed and solutions identified in a supportive community.
If you want to self-refer or are a professional who has a client who has disclosed domestic abuse or sexual abuse and needs specialist support, please use either our self-referral or professional referral form and refer to our referral process stated on the form.
We are also available to provide advice to any professionals who are working with survivors and can sometimes attend joint meetings with clients and professionals.
Referrals should be sent to our email address help@daisyprogramme.org.uk. We can also be contacted on 01953 880903.
