The National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) report 2019, Captive and Controlled: Domestic Abuse in Rural Areas, stated that Domestic Abuse in Rural Areas are 'isolated, unsupported and unprotected, service users failed by the system, services and those around them.'

To that end Northumberland County Council are looking to commission a service to raise awareness and provide support in the rural areas of West and North of Northumberland. The successful provider will be expected to offer both face to face and virtual 1:1 sessions and support groups. Also work with other agencies to raise awareness in the communities of domestic abuse and the support available.

The Provider will deliver a counselling service to both male and female service users of domestic abuse who require counselling to help overcome the various issues that they have faced during the time when they have experienced the abuse.
