Domestic Abuse Policy

Provide employees with clear and practical guidance to ensure we support and protect survivors of abuse.  Survivors will have information on what options are available to them to enable them to make informed decisions.

• We will create a safe environment where survivors of abuse feel they can approach us and be listened to by trained staff.
• Provide timely and effective guidance by working in partnership with relevant agencies to respond to any cases of domestic abuse that may arise.  We seek to enhance the safety and security of those involved and support them to increase their confidence, resilience and empower themselves to live independently.
• Raise awareness of the impacts of domestic abuse.
