Domestic Abuse

Domestic Abuse Strategy

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 required local authorities to appoint a Domestic Abuse Local Partnership Board to oversee the statutory duties and the provision of support. This includes representatives from local authorities, health, police, voluntary organisations and agencies representing the voice of victims and children.

The partnership was also required to complete a Needs Assessment and Strategy both of which can be found here –
