Advance's work with young women and girls
Advance provides specialist support to families and children from 5 years old, and girls and young women from 13 to 24 years old affected by experiences of domestic abuse, through our co located Social Care Independent Domestic Abuse Advocates, working together with Children’s Services, as well as through our specialist Children & Young Women’s advocates.
Advance also supports women and young women aged 15 years old and over in contact or at risk of contact with the Criminal Justice System, who are often victims of abuse and violence themselves. This includes specialist support for young women and girls aged 15-24 delivered by Minerva Young Women’s Keyworkers.
