The purpose of the report is to create
additional capacity in the Domestic Abuse team in order to better
meet the needs of victims of domestic abuse
and their children. The proposals particularly strengthen support
for those who are not identified as being at “high”
risk, for whom the support offer is
currently under-developed creating a risk that domestic abuse will
recur and/or escalate. The proposals also seek to strengthen the
support offer
for victims of so called honour-based violence.
