Contact Cheshire East Domestic Abuse Hub 

CEDAH provides information, a helpline and onward referral for any family member – adults who are harmed and those who are hurting others as well as children and young people. People are assessed according to risk and need and the right combination of services put in place for the whole family.

This is a central telephone, text and email service covering the whole of Cheshire East. People who want or need help are referred to Council or commissioned services in the community.

Are you living in fear of your partner or family member?

Have they:

  • called you names and made you feel bad about yourself
  • made you afraid by threatening you or your children
  • behaved violently towards you
  • stopped you seeing your friends or family
  • kept you without money
  • Do you feel you could be seriously harmed

Remember:

  • you are not to blame
  • you are not alone
  • you can get help
  • you are already a survivor
  • you can get your life back
  • you cannot change the person who is hurting you but you can take steps to make you and your children safer.

Are you concerned about your behaviour?

There is also help for you if you want to change the way you behave in your family and relationships.

Are you concerned about someone else’s safety? 

You can get advice about how best to support the person you care about too. You can speak to someone by phoning the Hub or you can get tips and advice from Open the Door.
