Breaking down language barriers for victims of abuse with new PCC-backed project |

A NEW PCC-backed service aims to break down some of the barriers stopping victims from accessing vital support
My Sister’s Place’s (MSP) new, multi-lingual, online chat service for victims of domestic abuse has been funded with £13,740 from Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC.)
The service will give fast, safe and discreet access to support for people with limited or no English.
MSP hopes the anonymous service will also benefit other potential users, who traditionally shy away from picking up the ‘phone to get help and advice.
They include male, neurodiverse, disabled and deaf victims as well as those, who cannot safely call because their perpetrator closely monitors and controls their movements.
Initially, the service will operate for three days per week for six months. It will feature real-time, online translation from community languages into English so victims can access MSP staff directly.
