Named in memory of Janine Mundy, who was killed in Cornwall by her estranged husband while he was on police bail, the J9 project involves offices displaying stickers in their windows to act as an indicator to victims that staff members are trained, and it is a safe space. Victims can then speak to someone at the premises, who will put them in touch with professional help at Safer Places, a local domestic abuse charity.
As part of this initiative, staff from Maldon District Council, One Support, Moat Housing, Citizens Advice Bureau, Job Centre Plus and Open Road have been trained to become contact points for those suffering domestic abuse.
If you wish to speak to a Maldon District Council Officer about domestic violence or violence against women and girls please contact the Maldon District Council Community Safety Team via:
