CCR Membership Network
The CCR Network aims to bring together Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and domestic abuse (DA) leads across a range of organisational settings to share, learn and support each other to develop and embed the CCR model in their local areas.
In 2008 we set up the Domestic Violence Coordinators Network (DVCN). DV coordinators were a relatively new post at the time and often an isolated and lonely one. The Network’s aims were to support professionals to make domestic abuse partnerships more effective, facilitate networking, share good practices, current research and legal frameworks, and lobby on local and national issues relating to domestic abuse.
Now the aims are similar but we are often working with a VAWG partnership rather than DA and our VAWG leads are also in health, the police, housing or the voluntary sector, as well as in local authorities.
What has been made clear against a background of increasing need and depleting resources is that the CCR approach is more important than ever. Our knowledge and experience of the theory and the practice of delivering a CCR means that we can facilitate the CCR Network as a space for sharing practice and information on how to effectively deliver a CCR in your local area. In our work across the UK (and Europe) we have seen a variety of practices and recognised common struggles amongst those with the responsibility to deliver their local CCR.

DAHA network
Housing providers are often among the first to identify domestic abuse — and they have a vital role to play in keeping survivors safe. The Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) is a partnership between Standing Together, Peabody and Gentoo, supporting over 150 housing providers across the UK to improve their response to domestic abuse.
DAHA is the leading specialist domestic abuse organisation supporting housing providers through its membership model, accreditation framework and training packages. DAHA accreditation is the UK benchmark for how housing providers should respond to domestic abuse, the only project in the UK offering a domestic abuse accreditation for the housing sector. The framework is recognised in the Domestic Abuse Act Statutory Guidance 2022 and endorsed by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales.
Membership is open to registered social landlords, local authorities and organisations connected to the housing sector who want to demonstrate their commitment to DAHA’s mission and principles.
Crossing pathways network
The Crossing Pathways Network brought together professionals from NHS, domestic abuse and other health services and VAWG leads to improve knowledge, pathways and responses for victims and survivors of domestic abuse within healthcare settings. The network ran as part of the 2023–2025 Home Office funded Crossing Pathways project.

Pathways to safety
Health services are often a victim-survivor’s first, and sometimes only point of contact. Yet the response across health settings remains inconsistent. Pathways to Safety is Standing Together’s accreditation framework for healthcare providers, built from real-world experience and sector feedback to raise the standard of care and enable health professionals to confidently and effectively respond to domestic abuse.
The framework supports NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Systems to become domestic abuse-informed, inclusive and equity-driven, progressing through a tiered accreditation model at a pace that supports sustainability while embedding meaningful change.
