CHARITIES supporting Asian domestic abuse survivors are in a funding crisis with a lack of space in refuges and a shortage of trained frontline workers, experts have cautioned.
They said further services are at risk of shrinking or closing due to a dearth of financial support.
Research by the Refuge charity found that 85 per cent of frontline workers believe their community-based service is being impacted by insufficient funding. And 76 per cent of workers in the sector said their caseload had increased in the past 12 months.
