Domestic & Sexual Violence and Abuse Sample Clauses

Domestic & Sexual Violence and Abuse. The Pan Sussex Strategic Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse Framework 2020 - 2024 brings together national and local government, third sector partners and stakeholders alongside the community - working together to ensure the provision of robust, high quality support to those who have experienced, recovering from, or at risk of domestic and sexual violence and abuse. Domestic abuse is ‘everybody’s business’ - from neighbourhoods to businesses - it is not and must never be considered an inevitability. The right interventions, in relation to both those experiencing, and responsible for the abuse can stop occurrence, reoccurrence, or escalation. We want to ensure that, across Sussex, quality, coordinated responses from the statutory and voluntary sectors are consistently available, not only to support victims, survivors and their children, but to also address perpetrators’ behaviour effectively. The Pan Sussex domestic and sexual violence and abuse strategic framework and associated action plan identifies our ambition to ensure long term sustainability and prioritisation of this work, using a whole system, and ‘whole of society’ approach – a multi-agency strategy that includes different professionals and agencies, local and national government, third sector partners and others all working together to tackle VAWG. The Vision for Sussex “We want to see an end to domestic abuse in Sussex. We are committed to preventing domestic abuse, improving the support and protection for victims and their children, and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions”.
