We are working to become DAHA accredited to ensure we deliver safe and effective responses to domestic abuse by focusing on the eight priority areas:
- Policies and procedures (both internal and external)
- Safety-led case management
- Survivor led support
- Intersectional and anti-racist practice
- Perpetrator accountability
- Partnerships and collaboration
- Staff development and support
- Publicity and raising awareness
Amy St Ledger, our assistant director of customer and housing services, says:
“We remain committed to improving the service and support to victims of domestic abuse. As part of this, we have been working towards the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance accreditation programme to make sure the support, action and help we offer is the best that it can be for our residents. This is a large piece of work that we are hoping to have finished by December this year.”
