Service Description
ODAS has been providing support for victims of domestic abuse for over 10 years in Oxfordshire. They are committed to empowering females and males in an abusive relationship, irrespective of sexuality or ethnicity, to make their own choices. The priority is to help victims and their children feel safe whether or not they choose to leave the relationship.
ODAS is co-commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council, District Councils, and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Out of hours callers are directed to the 24-hour National Helpline 0808 2000 247
