The Children’s IDVA service at The DEN offers specialised emotional and practical support to children and young people affected by domestic abuse. This can be through witnessing domestic abuse within the family or direct experience (young people in their own relationships). The DEN offers support to children and young people living in the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre areas.

People who can access the service are: currently living in a home with domestic abuse, having contact with the abusive parent/perpetrator of abuse, experiencing abuse within their own intimate relationship, currently on a child protection/child in need plan due to exposure of domestic abuse, part of a family which has been referred to MARAC (Fylde and Wyre District only).
