Domestic violence covers many areas of people's behaviours. Examples are physical, verbal, psychological abuses. It can also cover sexual violence, economic and social abuse by one's husband or wife or partner.


Our aim as a Christian charity, is to reduce domestic and family violence among families in new emerging communities by raising awareness, knowledge ability of migrants in accessing the required services. We have noticed that there are barriers to many African migrants not seeking help when they are abused by their partners because of their cultural backgrounds. As migrants, they are always afraid that reporting their partner's conduct will result in the involvement of the law enforcement authorities and this may lead to the aggressor's deportation. This is where we come in to help.

Our Safeguarding Policy

Agape Family Ministries acknowledge children's and adults at risk of harm's rights to protection from abuse, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, and beliefs. We believe that safeguarding is preventative, and that it involves protecting children and adults at risk's safety and wellbeing.


Our safeguarding policies have a person-centred approach with the wellbeing of the child and the adult at risk of harm at the heart of every action we take. We have put in place procedures that need to be followed if there is concern of abuse of a child or an adult at risk of harm.


We have noticed four main categories of abuse, namely: emotional, physical, sexual, neglect. We also include bullying, cyberbullying, trafficking, human trafficking, forced labour, FGM as abuse.
