Domestic Abuse. The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 received Royal Assent on 29th April 2021. The Act introduced a Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales with an amendment to the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (2004), requiring CSPs to send completed DHR reports to the DA Commissioner. In addition, the DA Commissioner’s office has developed plans in line with their powers regarding greater oversight of DHRs (particularly the learning and recommendations), as well as other reviews which incorporate DA (such as Safeguarding Adult Reviews). The DA Commissioner has powers to compel public bodies to cooperate with their office and make recommendations for public bodies to respond to within 56 days. The Act gives Tier 1 authorities with support from Tier 2 authorities, statutory requirements linked to support within safe accommodation services, sanctuary, and move-on accommodation. The Act also requires Tier 1 authorities to; create a Local Partnership Board with responsibility for conducting a needs assessment (available here); b) complete a Domestic Abuse Strategy on safe accommodation (available here); c) undertake commissioning activity in relation to accommodation-based services for both adult survivors and their children; and d) monitor delivery against the strategy. In March 2022 the Home Office published the Tackling Domestic Abuse Action Plan which sets out how various aspects of the Domestic Abuse Act will be delivered and will complement the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy. In July 2022 the Home Office published statutory guidance on Domestic Abuse to assist with the implementation of the Act including guidance and support to frontline professionals and sharing of best practice. In March 2024 a Kent and Medway cross Partnership Domestic Abuse strategy was launched, developed by working with those with lived experience, and those who support them. This strategy includes clear commitments which will be monitored though the Kent and Medway Domestic Abuse Executive Board.
Domestic Abuse. In 2013 the Home office defined domestic abuse as: ‘Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over, who are or have been intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality. This can encompass, but is not limited to, the following types of abuse: psychological; physical; sexual; financial; emotional. Family members are defined as: mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister and grandparents, whether directly related, in-laws or step-family.’ Effective safeguarding is achieved when agencies share information to obtain an accurate picture of the risk and then work together to ensure that the safety of the adult at risk is prioritised. In high-risk situations it may be relevant to use the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) process. A MARAC is a meeting where information is shared on the highest risk domestic abuse cases between representatives of the local police, probation, health, children and Adults Safeguarding bodies, housing practitioners, substance misuse services, Independent Domestic Violence Advisers (IDVAs) and other specialists from the statutory and voluntary sectors. The four aims of a MARAC are as follows: to safeguard adult victims who are at high risk of future domestic abuse; to make links with other public protection arrangements in relation to children, people causing harm and vulnerable adults; to safeguard agency staff, and; to work towards addressing and managing the behaviour of the person causing harm. If the adult meets the criteria to be an adult at risk (section 6 of this Policy; section 14.2 of the Guidance) and the concern is in relation to domestic abuse a safeguarding response may be considered appropriate.

Domestic Abuse. 24.1. You will not threaten or inflict domestic abuse in any form against your partner or any family members in your home. Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse against your partner or family members will be classed as domestic abuse and will be dealt with in accordance with the SARH Domestic Abuse Policy.
Domestic Abuse. 3.1 The Worcestershire Forum Against Domestic Abuse focuses upon preventing and reducing domestic abuse and encourages victims to report these crimes through targeted campaigns and information and the calls to the 24hour Domestic Abuse helpline are a reflection of the success of this approach. Calls for the last 12 months (to January 2017) are up 53% compared to the previous year. One area of challenge is that only 0.03% of those calls are from men. In respect of recording of domestic abuse crimes / incidents by the police we have seen a 3% decrease in incidents but a 16% increase in crimes. Trends are positive in respect of children repeatedly being exposed with an 8% reduction in children exposed 3+ times and an11% reduction in children being exposed 5+ or more times. However, the overall figure of children being exposed to domestic abuse has seen a 2% rise overall.
