Support for Women

Next Chapter began life as Colchester & Tendring Women’s Refuge in 1976. Since then, our work has branched out to cover all regions of Essex, and our Staff team has grown to over 70 – this growth means we are now able to offer our services to Male clients across Essex.

You can find the support options we have available for Women by visiting our parent site.

If You Stay or Return to Your Home
In danger? In an emergency always call 999

If you stay or return to your home after your partner has left, then you will probably have an occupation order or a protection order.

If the injunction has powers of arrest attached, then do make sure that your local police station has a copy, and that the police know that they need to respond quickly in an emergency.

However, it is important to know that you do not have to stay at home – with or without an injunction – if you do not feel safe there.
