Launch of the “Refreshed Guide to Effective Domestic Abuse Partnership Work – The CCR”
This new guidance brings together current national best practice around enhancing local, regional and national strategic responses to domestic abuse.
Standing Together (ST)’s work is renowned nationally and internationally for pioneering the coordinated community response in the UK. This evidence-based approach has led to the development of widely recognised system-change interventions such as Specialist Domestic Abuse Courts (SDAC).
We operate across various settings including health, housing, social care, the criminal justice system and the wider community, working collaboratively with statutory and third sector partner agencies to create systemic change and improve agencies’ understanding and responses to adult & child survivors and perpetrators. Without a coordinated community response, organisations tend to work in silos and survivors struggle to navigate services who are not working collaboratively to provide early intervention and long-term recovery.
Domestic homicide reviews are a practical illustration of what may happen in the absence of a functioning coordinated community response (CCR).
Our new guidance outlines the key components of a CCR and how this can be implemented effectively in practice by different statutory and non-statutory agencies locally and at a national level.
Speakers will include the Domestic Abuse Commissioner (DAC) and a range of senior representatives from different statutory and non-statutory settings, who will speak about the challenges and successes when implementing this work within their service.
We look forward to welcoming you.
