Victims of domestic abuse in South Holland will now be directed towards a new service as of this week.
Lincolnshire County Council has recommissioned the service it offers for those experiencing problems at home.
The provider of these services across the whole county is now West Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Service (WLDAS).
Referrals to the Service for support will primarily be through signposting and referrals to WLDAS by any agency or organisation, or through self-referral.
WLDAS can be contacted on 01522 510041 or by accessing and completing the online referral form via the website: www.wldas.org.uk
Coun Barry Young, the county council’s executive councillor for community safety at the county council, said: “As part of the recommissioning, I’m pleased to be able to announce that the council is also investing an additional £150,000 in some new support services.
“This includes providing a specialist worker within hospitals, and a targeted service for children and young people where their parent is already receiving support.
“We’ll be able to give more information about these services when they launch later in the year.”
