ABOUT WOMEN’S AID

ABOUT THE HIGH RISK SUPPORT PROJECT
The High Risk Support Project (HRSP) provides a multi-agency response
to women at high risk of ongoing abuse and homicide from their
ex-partners. This unique and innovative project is embedded in
Women’s Aid One to One Support Services and has developed since its
initiation in * with well-established practices
and procedures among key partners. Currently the HRSP is operational
across the Greater Dublin area (Dublin Metropolitan Region, D.M.R.),
the Eastern Region, and is opening in the Southern Region from October
*.
Women’s Aid partners with An Garda Síochána, Vodafone Ireland, and
local domestic abuse services to deliver a coordinated rapid response
system for women and families. The High Risk Support Project supports
and empowers women to feel safer and to begin rebuilding their lives
free of constant fear. Referrals of appropriate candidates for
participation in the HRSP are received from the Gardaí or other
domestic abuse services with whom Women’s Aid has an established
Memorandum of Understanding for this purpose.
Women’s Aid is generously funded by Cuan, the Domestic, Sexual and
