Compass is a central point of contact funded by Southend City Council, Essex County Council, Thurrock Council and Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner to support victims of domestic abuse across Southend, Essex and Thurrock. From 01 April 2025 we will become a point of contact for people who have engaged in abusive behaviour in their relationships and are seeking support.
COMPASS is delivered by a partnership of established domestic abuse support agencies; Safe Steps, Changing Pathways and The Next Chapter. The aim is to provide a central point of access for callers to speak with a trained member of our team who will complete an assessment to ensure contact is made with the most appropriate support service. There is an easy to use online form for both the public and professionals wishing to make a referral.
The central point of access does not replace any support services in Southend, Essex and Thurrock which are delivered by Safe Steps, Changing Pathways, The Next Chapter, Thurrock Safeguarding and Cranstoun.
