How to Make a Referral

I have now made several referrals to NCDV, all of which have been positive experiences, referrals are made in seconds. Subsequent communication is ideal between NCDV and police; it is concise, relevant and includes all the necessary references, it may seem like a small point to raise but it does make safeguarding so streamlined. In addition, I have received positive feedback from those effected by domestic abuse who have been helped by NCDV. After making a few referrals, we arranged training with Mick which has given myself and the team a greater understanding, I can happily say that it is easy to recommend NCDV.

The speed in which you took on this task for a victim was impressive. The victim felt listen to and that someone was really able to help. This helped with their mental health and she felt some control over her situation. NCDV were a great support. Thank you

These views are mine as an individual and I am not representing views of Leicestershire County Council as an organisation. I have found NCDV support to be timely, effective and above all human. You listened to my service user, understood her experience and fears and acted quickly to put support in place. I am grateful for the professional and inclusive way that you have worked with us.

Firstly I like to say thank you, I was very impressed by the promptness of the NCDV in responding to the application I made on behalf of a victim of harassment, though a criminal investigation is ongoing, seeking a non molestation order immediately was necessary. Our organization had previously had an input from the NCDV and colleagues whom had referred before couldn’t speak any higher of you. Highly recommend and keep you the amazing work you do to keep people safe and feeling safer

Great service. At an early stage in the investigation, I rang the victim and asked if she would be interested in the NCDV referral service – which she was. Once I had dealt with the suspect in custody, I called the victim back that same day and she informed me that the NCDV team had already contacted her!. In a world of slow, laborious, legal process and red tape, this application took me less than two minutes to complete and the result was pretty much immediate. I will definitely use this service again. Thanks.
