Domestic Abuse: Briefing on enhanced service offer

In April 2021 The Domestic Abuse Act became legislation in the UK, this placed a statutory duty on Local Authorities in relation to providing safe accommodation for victims of domestic abuse.  All Local Authorities received funding to help them to this, this is called the new burdens funding.

This briefing is aimed at frontline practitioners working with families affected by domestic abuse.  It will give you an overview of the new provision we have funded with the new burdens funding to ensure victims and their children can access safe accommodation.  This includes, specialist step down accommodation, therapy for adults and children, security measures for people’s homes, an accessibility fund and much more.

There will be 1 break with refreshments.
