A law firm has committed to continuing its support for victims of domestic abuse.

Wiltshire-based Goughs Solicitors is working to increase awareness of domestic abuse and is furthering its services to support more people.

Natalie Kemp, senior associate and head of the domestic violence team at Goughs, said: "I am thrilled to work at an organisation where the support of victims is given the time and resources it requires to truly be able to support victims.

"The training I have personally undertaken has really embedded the need for such support in the communities in which we operate.”

Goughs has set up of a free monthly family law clinic with Trowbridge-based FearFree, a charity which brings together services for victims of domestic abuse and their families and which was Goughs' charity partner last year.

Jessica Severn, Wiltshire service manager at FearFree, said: "We are pleased that Goughs chose to partner with FearFree in offering those we support such an invaluable legal and emotional consultation.

"Often victims of domestic violence don’t know where to start with legal proceedings so it’s brilliant that we can point them in the right direction with such a highly dedicated legal team.”
