The Ask for ANI (Action Needed Immediately) codeword scheme is launching in pharmacies today. If you are experiencing Domestic Abuse, you can access support from your local pharmacy by asking a member of staff for help or using the codeword “ANI” – this will let them know that you need immediate support.
Participating pharmacies will display posters in their window and around the pharmacy to let customers know they can approach their staff to seek help.
We have had 1040 referrals, from the Police alone, in the last three months. We have also continued to accept referrals from other agencies and victims themselves. Well done team!
We will not be in the office from 31st December- 4th January. Please email us if you require assistance and we will get back to you at our earliest convenience.
If you have an application going to court via us please note that you are unlikely to get a court date this side of the New Year. We can understand your frustration, but the lovely Court staff deserve some time off too.
We are still here until 23rd December and will be back on 29th December, and then out from 31st December-2nd January 2021.
We wish you a safe and happy Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Feel free to still email or refer to us during this time.
We want to collect some furniture for our office, as IKEA will not deliver here- we are in worthing and the nearest Ikea is Southampton/Croydon - would this be permissible as an essential journey? It isn't necessarily an essential item- but would make our lives easier.
We are up on previous months' worth of referrals so far and it's not even the end of January. It's all in hand and we are super grateful for our fab Sussex Law students.
