Finding Legal Advice Options for Women Survivors (FLOWS)
Overview
FLOWS is for organisations and the staff and volunteers that work in them, and for anyone who is a seeking support in relation to domestic abuse. FLOWS delivers legal advice to front-line organisations and individuals who are considering seeking protective injunctions through the Family Courts. We also have our online tool, CourtNav, to assist individuals to apply for a non-molestation and/or occupation order through the courts: https://www.courtnav.org.uk/. CourtNav will assist with finding a legal aid solicitor or getting free support should an individual decide to proceed in person.
