In April 2021, the Government said a grant of £125 million should be paid to local authorities, to enable delivery of the new statutory duty within the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.

It is important that a local strategy is developed, in partnership, to understand how we will meet this new duty, and to develop a plan of improvements for victims of domestic abuse and their children.

We would like your views and comments to help inform this strategy and the next steps. Our survey is designed to walk you through the key aspects of the strategy. You can complete our Domestic abuse safer accommodation strategy survey- external site .

If you would prefer, you can view the draft strategy on the Safer NEL website: Draft Domestic Abuse Safer Accommodation Strategy- external site 

Paper copies can be provided on request by calling 01472 324380.

We recently held a discussion with local domestic abuse service provider about the Safer Accommodation Duty, where they shared their views about the opportunities they feel we could explore as part of the process to develop a local offer. I’ve attached a copy of the presentation, which includes a link to the detailed information on the new Domestic Abuse Act and the new duty. 

Following this, we are really keen to seek the views and experiences of wider services, teams and practitioners across the whole of the partnership. It’s crucial that we understand the needs of those affected by domestic abuse, in particular our children and young people whose voices often go unheard, and we want you to help with that.

A small survey has been opened where you can share those views and experiences. It’s completely anonymous, though you can choose to provide details of the organisation you are from if you wish. It’s really important that we receive honest feedback and all feedback is greatly received. I would also encourage you to share this survey with your colleagues and networks.

The original deadline for responses has now been extended to end of play 19^th November 2021 as we are really keen to hear what you have to say.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact myself, Aimee Lowther (Aimee.Lowther@nelincs.gov.uk) or Katie Chadwick (Katie.Chadwick@nelincs.gov.uk). Thank you.
