Preventing and Responding to Violence Sample Clauses

Preventing and Responding to Violence. Background: The interim final rule highlighted that some types of violence had increased during the pandemic and that the ability of victims to access services had decreased, noting as an example the challenges that individuals affected by domestic violence face in accessing services.
