Nature of work
Domestic abuse has far reaching consequences throughout families, schools, workplaces and communities, often devastating the lives of those affected. Our approach to stopping domestic abuse recognises the need for an integrated and co-ordinated working which focuses on:
- Prevention - Preventing domestic abuse from happening by challenging the attitudes and behaviours which foster it and intervening early where possible to prevent it.
- Provision - Providing accessible and appropriate high quality specialist support for victims and their children who are affected by domestic abuse
- Protection - Developing a 'whole system' response to ensure that those who perpetrate abuse are accountable
- Information sharing is central to effective working but this is undertaken in an appropriate and sensitive way.
