Plymouth Domestic Abuse Service and Refuge

Plymouth Domestic Abuse Service (PDAS) offers a comprehensive package of support to women and children who are experiencing or fleeing from domestic abuse. The service is provided by the charity Carr-Gomm.

Working in partnership with local agencies PDAS can offer emotional and practical support, which includes safety planning, securing safe accommodation (where appropriate) and support through the criminal justice system.

As part of the children's service, PDAS offer creative support packages through their specialist children's worker.

PDAS is committed to equality, offering services to the black and minority ethnic (BME) community, those living with a disability and women in a same sex relationship.

PDAS recognise that domestic abuse is not gender specific and are currently in the process of developing the service to meet the needs of male victims.

PDAS will accept self referrals and referrals from outside agencies via the telephone. They also work closely with the RSPCA to either foster or adopt animals (dependant on age).

Opening times are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and an answer phone is available outside of these hours. PDAS will always return a call if a safe contact number is left.

Telephone PDAS on 01752 252033 or email pdas@sanctuary-housing.co.uk.
