The main aim
of the multi-agency strategy on domestic abuse is the
reduction of domestic abuse and repeat victimisation
through prevention, provision and protection and justice.
Sub
groups were set up to work on the priorities for
actions detailed in the strategy. Members of the sub
groups include
people from the legal professions, the police, social
services, health, education, the city council and the
voluntary sector. |

Services – The
work of the services sub group includes
the development of a crisis response
service, looking into specialist provisions
for example for women with no recourse
to public funds, services for victims
with complex needs and services for
children. |

Perpetrators – The
perpetrators sub group is developing
work on perpetrator
programmes, perpetrator profiling and
challenging abusive behaviour. |
