Domestic Abuse and Healthy Relationships in Young People

East Surrey Domestic Abuse Service is a charity that supports anyone living or working in the boroughs of Reigate & Banstead, Mole Valley or Tandridge over the age of 16 years who has/is experiencing domestic abuse.

The UK government’s definition of domestic abuse is “any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality. The abuse can encompass, but is not limited to psychological, physical, sexual, financial, emotional.”

You have been asked to participate in this survey because you are between 16-21.

This survey is completely anonymous and you will not be identified.

If you have any questions or concerns in relation to this survey please email support@esdas.org.uk.

ESDAS may publish the results of this survey on our Facebook page and other social media sites in order to raise awareness of domestic abuse and young people and enable us to improve our service in this area.
