Spanning across policy, research, practice, communications and lived experience engagement our team works to understand the changes needed to improve the response to domestic abuse.
Advocacy
As an independent office, we speak publicly and candidly about systems that are failing victims and survivors. We use evidence and amplify survivors’ voices to push for better laws, policies and services, and to hold local and national government to account.
Lived experience engagement
We engage with people who have experienced domestic abuse to understand their concerns and hear their ideas on what they want to see change within our systems and services. This helps us build a clearer picture of what works – from preventing domestic abuse in the first place to supporting people as they recover.
Practice and partnerships
We use what we learn to shape how domestic abuse is understood and tackled across England and Wales. We work to raise awareness, share effective practice, and ensure that good responses become the norm rather than the exception.
