The domestic abuse housing alliance have published some advice and information on how you can offer safe responses to your tenants/service users where it’s known they are living with domestic abuse or where new concerns arise.
A colleague we were speaking with today told us that they are busy dealing with domestic violence cases and working with partners locally. They’re concentrating on being able to facilitate local provision, to make sure that if there is a DV incident, they have a property available for the victim to move into. They’re also ensuring that they link in with the local council, police and university about this.
Train companies have announced today that they’ll be offering free train travel to those fleeing domestic abuse. This has come out of a partnership between train companies and women’s aid.
