The DDAA (Devon Domestic Abuse Alliance) is dedicated to eradicating domestic abuse through collaborative efforts and community engagement. Their mission is to provide a safe haven for those affected, offering resources and support to rebuild lives. They envision a future where domestic abuse is no longer a hidden issue but a community priority, tackled with compassion and determination. By fostering partnerships and promoting awareness, they aim to create lasting change and a safer Devon for all residents.

Adults

They will support any adult who is experiencing or has experienced domestic abuse. Whether you are currently in an abusive relationship, have left an abusive situation, or are concerned about someone you know, they are here to help you access the right support.

Children, young people and families

They recognise that children and young people are victims of domestic abuse in their own right. Growing up around abuse can have a lasting and damaging effect on their wellbeing, development, and relationships.

They offer specialist support for children and young people to help them feel safe, heard, and supported.
They also work alongside non-abusive parents and caregivers, helping them understand the impact of abuse on their children and supporting them in rebuilding safe, positive family relationships.

Where appropriate, they will provide whole-family support to help families recover and move forward together, with a focus on safety, understanding, and healing.

People of all gender and backgrounds

We know that domestic abuse affects people of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. We are here for everyone — women, men, LGBTQ+ individuals, people from Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic communities, disabled people, older people, those who may not have a permanent home and those living in rural or isolated areas.

Friends, family and professionals

They will also support those who are concerned about someone affected by domestic abuse. Whether you are a friend, family member, neighbour, or professional, we can offer information, advice, and guidance on how best to help.

Working with people who harm

Ending domestic abuse means addressing abusive behaviour at its root.

Through their Domestic Abuse Prevention Project, they will work with people who have caused harm to others. Their aim is to support individuals to take responsibility for their behaviour, understand the impact of their actions, and develop the skills to have safe, healthy, and respectful relationships in the future.

This work is delivered alongside their survivor support services, with safety and accountability at the heart of everything we do.
