If the abuser has been sentenced to prison, The Probation Service should get in touch with you in future to let you know when they are being released.

Compensation
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) can pay money (compensation) to people who have been physically or mentally injured because they were the blameless victims of a violent crime.
