“ Working with LDAS has opened my eyes around the domestic abuse. Some parts of my experience I didn’t identify as abuse until I spoke to my caseworker and did the freedom programme. My caseworker has been really supportive and has helped me working with other agencies. I would highly recommend getting support from them”
