DAISY: Domestic Abuse Advocacy and Support

We offer one to one advocacy and advice in a safe and non-judgemental environment. We currently offer services to families across the South of Glasgow. Our staff are all qualified IDAA's (Independent Domestic Abuse Advocates) with some of them being among the first in Scotland to qualify. We also have staff members who contribute to IDAA training sessions as well as having trained with Glasgow Violence against Women Partnership to facilitate awareness raising sessions. Our IDAA's have extensive experience of supporting women to court during criminal proceedings. However, our project is unique in that we support our client's longer term. This has also allowed us to build up extensive experience of supporting women through civil court proceedings, particularly around contact with children.
