How we can help
Everyone’s experience of domestic abuse is different, and so is the support they need. At Warrington Women’s Aid, we offer a range of services to help people feel safer, supported, and empowered, from emergency accommodation to community-based and therapeutic support.
Gateway Programme
Based on the information provided at the point of referral, women and/or men (and parents) may be placed on either the Gateway Programme or the Healthy Relationships course.
Increasing Knowledge about Abusive Relationship Dynamics
The Gateway Program requires crucial risk management factors to be addressed at each stage of implementation, including initial set-up, referral processes, ongoing risk review, session delivery and evaluation.
Attending the Gateway sessions can contribute to an individual’s journey to reaching a place where they may feel able to make choices and consider their options.
Local support agencies are included with signposting information.
Qualifications/experience of the key provider(s):
All our IDVA’s are trained and accredited in The Gateway program.
We deliver the Gateway program on a 1:1 basis in the community (men and women) or to a group of women in refuge, who have experienced domestic abuse. If a women is offered a conditional placement at refuge due to her complex needs, The Gateway is a mandatory course (part of the conditional offer).
Our qualified Gateway facilitators are bound to confidentiality unless there is a safeguarding issue relating directly to the parent attending the course.
