In Halton our vision for is for everyone to be able to recognise domestic abuse, take responsibility and work together to tackle it. The Halton Domestic Abuse Partnership Board is responsible for ensuring that we achieve this vision. No one should live in fear - Halton aims to create safer homes, safer communities and a safer society benefitting all Halton residents and reducing fear and harm. This event will detail key priorities, and focuses on hearing the voices of survivors and children affected by domestic abuse, and responding to local need. The event will also respond to the needs of those who abuse so we can reduce harm caused to victims and children and make for happier, safer future relationships and improve childhood experiences. Domestic abuse is never acceptable – in Halton we have adopted a zero tolerance culture, and we actively promote Clare’s Law - The Right to Know and The Right to Ask. Everyone needs to understand their responsibilities and what they can do to contribute to tackling domestic abuse in Halton. We will promote support services and provide people with skills so that when they are concerned about someone they know, they have access to specialist help, feel supported and are equipped to prevent harm. We will ensure that frontline staff have the tools and skills to recognise domestic abuse, provide advice, and carry out effective safety and support work with individuals and families. We must do everything we can to ensure victims and their dependents are protected from harm within the community or in supported accommodation. And, by working in partnership with Criminal Justice, we want to ensure those who harm are brought to justice.
The event will be thought provoking, informative and will shape the future delivery of domestic abuse support services in Halton.
