STADA’s policy work communicates the benefits of the CCR to policymakers and statutory agencies.
We do this in a range of ways, such as submitting consultation responses; commissioning and conducting research and evaluations; briefing MPs, Lords and civil servants; and engaging with policy change across all of our areas of work from housing to health, reflecting the need for joined-up, collaborative services. See our priority policy areas below.
Our policy approach
Championing co-ordinated services
Accountability
Equity, diversity and inclusion
Fair commissioning
Victim and survivor centred
Policy news and updates
No single agency can keep victims and survivors safe. We want to see consistently joined-up provision from statutory agencies when responding to domestic abuse.
We want to see policy used to create cultures of accountability in which all partners understand their role as equal partners within the CCR.
By-and-for services are vital in ensuring victims and survivors can access appropriate, high-quality services, and we will champion their essential role within the sector.
We want to see fair, collaborative commissioning practices across domestic abuse services which can meet the diversity of need in communities.
We will seek out expertise from frontline services to ground our policy work in better outcomes for victims and survivors, enabled by stronger co-ordination.

Consultation responses
STADA often responds to consultations and calls for evidence from Parliament and statutory agencies. We will upload our consultation responses here once they have been made public as part of the relevant inquiry. Do get in touch with any questions.
We welcome the opportunity to write joint consultation responses with partner agencies or charities and are part of several collective voice groups. STADA currently chairs the DAHA-led National Housing and Domestic Abuse Policy and Practice Group (NPPG) who deliver a range of influencing work; read more about their policy activity and responses. We also run the Faith and VAWG Coalition as part of our Safety Across Faith and Ethnic (SAFE) Communities Project.
