Description
Bristol: NCDV Domestic Abuse Training. Legal Processes: Obtaining an Injunction Order
Joined by Bristol Against Violence and Abuse (BAVA) NCDV are pleased to offer 3 training sessions throughout the day, each lasting 1 hour.
Training sessions will be running at 9:30am, 11am and 2pm.
In the training we discuss who NCDV are, what NCDV can do to help survivors of domestic abuse and how to access NCDV’s services. The training also advises on what domestic abuse is, how NCDV obtains emergency injunctions following the legal process, and how your resources themselves can refer survivors (with consent) to NCDV and then, if required, receive email updates on the status of the injunction application. We also discuss how funding is considered reviewing the option of Legal Aid, as well as the benefits of civil orders. This training will also include our ASSIST database and ReferDirect app.

Organiser National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV)
Organiser of NCDV Domestic Abuse Training: Obtaining an Injunction Order
1 in 4 women are victims of domestic violence and 1 in 8 men. Part of the process of protection from the abuser is to apply to the courts for a civil order, quite often there is not enough evidence for the police to take action but as the burden of prof is lower in the civil courts an emergency protective injunction can be made.
The emergency protective injunction stops the abuser from continuing their actions as breach of this order is a criminal offence with up to 5 years in prison.
National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV) is the leading organisation in the UK helping protect victims of domestic abuse by obtaining emergency civil injunctions on their behalf. NCDV provides a free, fast emergency injunction service to those in need regardless of their financial circumstances, race, gender or sexual orientation. NCDV has never charged a victim of domestic violence or abuse and never will.
Our service allows anyone to apply for an injunction which we aim to provide within 24 hours of first contact sometimes the same day. We work in close partnership with the police, local firms of solicitors and other support agencies (Refuge, Women’s Aid etc) to help victims obtain the protection they need, fast.
