Our domestic abuse strategy
Anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse, regardless of age, ability, race, culture, gender identity or sexual orientation. Breaking the cycle of domestic abuse is really important to us.
We are pleased to share with you our Domestic Abuse Strategy for 2025 to 2030. It was developed by working closely with partners, local organisations and people who have experienced domestic abuse. We have outlined what we hope to achieve over the next 5 years to ensure anyone experiencing domestic abuse is supported, and to disrupt the behaviour of individuals who cause harm.
The strategy contains five outcomes that we hope to achieve, as well as a plan for how we will achieve each outcome.
The five outcomes are:
- children and young people have the right support, information and opportunities to talk about and develop healthy relationships
- people experiencing and at risk of experiencing domestic abuse are supported to be and feel safe
- everyone can rebuild their lives and live free from domestic abuse
- individuals that harm can recognise and be supported to change their behaviour and break the cycle of domestic abuse
- communities, professionals are able to recognise domestic abuse at the earliest opportunity and have the confidence to take action
