Specialist Domestic Abuse

The London Borough of Sutton require the provision and coordination of Specialist Domestic Abuse Services.

We seek to develop and commission a systems-wide response to Domestic Abuse which:

• Demonstrates and delivers a joined up approach of commissioned specialist services, where the pathways are clear and users of the service are referred into and between services based on their level of need. • Reduces levels of dependency on statutory services by victims and increases their levels of independence. • Reduces the levels of risk to victims, children and families. • Effects real change in the incidence of domestic abuse by perpetrators. • Supports children, families, victims and perpetrators to achieve long term sustainable, positive changes which bring about improved outcomes.

Services will provide targeted support to victims, perpetrators, of domestic abuse and children affected by DA. Services will be delivered across Sutton and will encompass interventions that aim to address the complex problems associated with domestic abuse.
