The UK Gold Book online is unique providing information on the full range of domestic and sexual violence service available in the UK including refuge services, children and young people’s services, outreach and IDVA services.
It includes sophisticated search tools enabling users to find the most appropriate domestic and sexual violence service available based on criteria including:
- geographical area
- sexuality and gender
- accessibility
- languages
- specialist services for black and minority ethnic women
- specialist services for men
Polly Neate, Chief Executive of Women’s Aid said: “It is incredibly important that professionals who work with vulnerable women and children have access to specialist services. The Gold Book online is a unique resource, which provides that access securely and effectively. I urge anyone who works with survivors of abuse to subscribe now to get access to this essential directory.”
