Equally Safe and Supported is a practical set of resources designed to support organisations to make their services accessible to women with learning disabilities who have experienced gender-based violence.

"Four out of five lawyers working in civil legal aid in Glasgow will no longer take on protective order cases for victims of domestic abuse because in 1999 lawyers accepted the principle of one fee of £500 for working a single case and 25 years later that fee is only £572.”
