CLEAR helps lead the way in professional development opportunities, research and evaluation, evidence-based practice and continuous improvement of services for people impacted by abuse and trauma.
CLEAR is a Centre of Excellence in the development of practice relating to domestic abuse, sexual violence and trauma. We bring together and develop resources, expertise and evidence to support continuous improvement of services from prevention to intervention: locally, nationally and internationally.
For thousands of years stories have been used by us all to entertain, inform, and provide a sense of connection. And stories can play an important role in supporting children who need a bit of help with a social or emotional need. These therapeutic stories are stories created with the aim of providing hope, guidance and healing around a particular issue.

We provide a range of opportunities for professionals from a wide range of agencies and organisations to develop their competence. This includes play therapy, developing an understanding of sexual abuse and domestic violence, safeguarding (both adults and children) and our Level 5 Diploma Working Therapeutically with Children & Young People.
Our therapy services for children and young people are clinically evaluated against national standards through Routine Outcome Measure and are analysed and reported quarterly, enabling us not only to benchmark against national services but also to understand the effectiveness of different therapies.
There are a number of national and local sources of information that provide data about domestic abuse and sexual violence.
