Provision sub-group

Objectives

The provision of services sub-group is a strategic group, with responsibility for Objectives 5, 6 and 7 of the domestic violence and abuse strategy action plan, which are:

  • Women, children and men from diverse backgrounds and needs are encouraged to report domestic violence/abuse and seek support. Agencies will ensure barriers to seeking support are removed.
  • Survivors throughout the city have access to independent and flexible support, according to assessed level of risk and need, that offers a range of safety options and follows an empowerment and survivor-centred approach.
  • Children and young people who are or have lived with domestic violence/abuse and/or experienced domestic violence/abuse are identified and protected from harm and receive ongoing support for their recovery and promotion of their resilience.

The provision of services sub-group therefore takes a lead in work around providing services for all victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse in Bristol, and making sure that groups with specialist needs have those needs met. The sub-group is primarily made up of service providers.
