City-wide forum

Aims

BDAF sits alongside the strategy group, and is open to anyone who works with victims and survivors of domestic abuse, either as the main role in their job, or as part of their work. The aims of the forum are:

  • To act as a lobbying and pressure group with decision-makers and the public
  • To fundraise for service provision and prevention work in Bristol
  • To share good practice and create actions to take forward to improve services
  • To effectively collaborate with the strategy group and wider strategic structure, including two-way feedback

 

Membership

In practice, this means that a BDAF meeting is usually made up of three parts:

  1. Professional presentation on an aspect of domestic violence and abuse e.g. disabled women, civil remedies etc
  2. Feedback from strategy group, update on sub-group action plans
  3. Discussion and information sharing

The North Bristol domestic abuse forum and South Bristol domestic abuse forum also feed into the city-wide forum. We also have a lobbying group.

For more information or to join any of these three forums, contact the BDAF Administrator bdaf@bristol.gov.uk 0117 914 2232
