A free, private tool for women affected by domestic abuse who are worried about their immigration situation in the UK. Quietly organise your circumstances before speaking to a qualified professional.
Many people search for domestic violence help, but abuse can also include emotional abuse, coercive control, financial control, threats about immigration status, or control of documents. Clarespath covers all of these.
It is not a law firm, not a government service, and not connected to the police or the Home Office. It is an independent project built to help survivors take a safer first step toward understanding their options.
Accounts. Logins. Cookies. Nothing stored on our servers. Ever.
Free, forever. No referral fees. No paywalls. No catches.
On your time. Available whenever it feels safe to use.
Clarespath doesn't solve these problems. It helps you organise your situation privately before speaking to a professional — without putting you through repeat disclosure.
Your partner has threatened to cancel your visa or report you to the Home Office.
Your passport, BRP, eVisa or UKVI account is being controlled by someone else.
You are experiencing financial abuse and cannot access money for legal advice.
You are experiencing emotional abuse or coercive control linked to your immigration status.
You are not sure what to tell a solicitor or where to begin the conversation.
You have been abandoned outside the UK by a partner or spouse and need to understand your options.
This includes — but is not limited to — people on the following routes.
Before starting, you are shown how to use the tool safely, including advice about private browsing, safe devices and what to do if someone is monitoring your screen.
Simple questions about your visa type, whether you have children, and your current situation. You do not need to describe specific incidents of abuse — and you can stop at any time.
The tool creates a simple summary of your immigration position. It stays in your browser and is not sent to anyone.
If it is safe to do so, you can save your summary as a text file. The file saves to your device only. Clarespath never receives a copy.
Show your summary to a qualified immigration solicitor, legal aid adviser, IDVA or support worker to help them understand your situation quickly.
We don't treat privacy, accessibility and safety as separate concerns. We build all three into every page, every question, every line of code — so you can take the first step with confidence.
No accounts. No logins. No cookies. Your data stays in your browser unless you choose to download it to your device.
Forever. For survivors. No referral fees from solicitors. No paywalls. No catches. Access to justice cannot have a price tag.
Built with trauma-aware principles. Calm design. No graphic content. Safe Exit on every page. Designed with survivors in mind.
Two minutes. Explained calmly, in plain words. Hear it from the people building it.
