NSW Department of Communities and Justice / Staying Home Leaving Violence Maitland - 1-11495363721

The aim of the Staying Home Leaving Violence program is to prevent the parent (non-perpetrator of family violence) and their children becoming homeless or having to move away from their support system of family and friends, the school and community where they live. The program works in cooperation with NSW Police to remove the perpetrator (the violent partner) from the family home so that parent and the children can stay safely where they live. It provides a range of support, such as safety planning, improving home security, help in managing finances, support for children, and helping them with the complicated legal process.
