that they can't breach it, otherwise
they're going to get themselves in
trouble.
M: Could you talk about the
presentations you do?
B: Eight of us deliver presentations to
professionals who deal with victims of
domestic violence, domestic abuse and
coercive control. I speak to police
officers, council staff, housing
associations, homeless charities,
anyone who may come across people
who could benefit from our support.
The presentation is free, lasts about 35
minutes and can be done on Zoom or
Microsoft Teams. It details who we
are, how we support people through
the court process, our history and what
the whole process looks like from start
to finish. I then open up to questions.
Delivering the presentations is hugely
satisfying, particular when I speak to
people who've not heard of us and the
services that we can offer. For most
people we can get that support and get
them an injunction and it won't cost
the victim a penny. We do not charge
for our services. It is massively
enlightening and useful for
organisations who support victims and
don’t know about us.
M: Well, as you know, I attended one
of your presentations and thought it
was excellent and really informative,
so I hope a lot of people take that up. If
anyone wants to get in touch with you,
how would they go about it?
B: Probably the easiest is through my
email: Brian.reilly@ncdv.org.uk
I’m happy to speak to people any time
so do get in touch! If anyone needs a
process server or more details about
what we do then I’d suggest looking at
our website www.ncdv.org.uk and
getting in touch.
