A PLAN to ensure domestic abuse victims are supported with safe accommodation services will be discussed by Staffordshire County Council.
The authority currently works with providers Staffordshire Women’s Aid, Glow and Pathway Project, who collectively helped 460 adults and children in such settings last year.
A proposed approach to the recommissioning of support in safe accommodation services for the next four years will be discussed at a meeting of the council’s cabinet tomorrow (20th May).
Cllr Anthony Screen, cabinet member for community safety and resilience at Staffordshire County Council, said:
“Domestic abuse is a terrible crime that has a huge impact on victims, their families and the wider community.
“Working together with local organisations, as well as our wider partners, is the best way to support and keep victims and their families safe. This way, we can build a future where every person can live free from fear and harm.
“All three providers are long-established local organisations that have been delivering specialist domestic abuse support for many years in Staffordshire.
“Our proposal will ensure that we continue to commission high-quality services that meet the needs of victims and survivors and help them rebuild their lives.”
