Report to us discreetly at the Basildon Centre

Anyone experiencing domestic abuse can attend the Basildon Centre and say "J9" to a member of staff - this code word will ensure that support and advice regarding an abusive relationship is offered. The Basildon Centre is a J9 reporting centre and displays the relevant logo.

J9 is an initiative to raise awareness and to help survivors of domestic abuse. The J9 Domestic Abuse initiative is named in memory of Janine Mundy who was killed by her estranged husband in June 2003 while he was on police bail. Janine was the mother of two young boys. The initiative was started by her family and the local police in Cambourne, Cornwall, where she lived.  Janine used to sign her text messages J9, hence the name of this initiative.
