When you contact us we will invite you to come in for a chat. We will talk to you about yourself and your situation in order to decide whether SafeSpace will be able to help you.
Everyone who is referred to SafeSpace is assessed, including a risk assessment to make sure that we will be able to support people safely. We do this risk assessment by talking to you about your circumstances and we will also contact organisations who know you to help with this.
