Overview:

TKAT is working with the organisation Safer Places. Safer Places is a Specialist organisation which has over 40 years’ experience in delivering holistic support services to adult and child survivors of Domestic Abuse across Essex and Hertfordshire.  

In TKAT we recognise that we may have employees who have been a witness to, be a survivor of or may themselves be experiencing Domestic Abuse. Likewise you may be supporting a friend, family member or colleague. Through our work in schools you may also be providing support to families as well as children and young people who are exposed to or witness Domestic abuse at home.

What is J9?

The J9 Domestic Abuse Initiative aims to raise awareness of domestic abuse and assist survivors to access support safely by training professionals and members of the community to recognise domestic abuse and respond to survivors. Once J9 trained, the J9 logo is displayed, letting survivors know that they have a safe place to access information and use a telephone to contact support services.

So many survivors say that they never got the chance to tell someone because it wasn't safe. It's not always easy to know who to contact, where to go and what your options are. Coercive control is a factor in many abusive relationships and perpetrators of abuse will actively shut down opportunities for survivors to access support. J9 opens those doors to support and creates a network of safe places for survivors to speak out and get help. Safer Places' J9 initiative was highlighted for good practice in the Government Consultation 'Transforming the Response to Domestic Abuse'.
