Next Link is part of Missing Link Mental Health Services. We provide domestic abuse support services.

Missing Link is a mental health and housing service for women in Bristol. We were established in 1982 to provide a range of housing and support to women that either have acute or long term mental health needs.

Missing Link supports women who are homeless, or have a history of sleeping rough or whose housing is at risk because of their mental health issues.

Missing Link strives to create a culture that encourages and values everyone’s differences and promotes mutual respect and shared understanding.

Safeguarding

Protecting the vulnerable is a core value and is integral to how we work at Missing Link. We consider it the duty of staff, management committee and volunteers to promote the welfare of adults at risk, children and young people and to keep them protected and safe. We follow best practice to promote the safety, health and well-being of everyone that comes into contact with our services. (Our polices are available on request).

Our Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy and Safeguarding Adults at Risk Policy follow national and local guidance and are in line with South West Child Protection Procedures; Joint Safeguarding Adults Multi Agency Policy 2015 and The Care Act (2014).
