History of NCDV

NCDV started as a charity but with no government funding available we decided to change to a private limited company, in 2021 we changed our status to a Community Interest Company. We supply our services free to the public by charging solicitors for the work we do to compile documents for court applications.

This work would normally take a solicitor four to five hours and we charge them less than it would cost for them to do it themselves – which is cost effective for the solicitors and helps speed up court applications.

Working with our solicitors’ panel we can cover nearly the whole of England, we are actively encouraging more solicitors’ firms to join the panel to create an even larger network of support options.

Our aim is to provide a free, fast emergency injunction service to survivors of domestic abuse regardless of their financial circumstances, race, gender or sexual orientation and we will continue to innovate our service to provide this.
