Help shape future Domestic Abuse Strategy
Latest news from Central Bedfordshire Council
Consultation running until November
Your voice matters: tell us what you think of our Domestic Abuse Strategy.
Our current domestic abuse strategy was launched in 2022 and runs up to 2025. It outlines five key area of focus to tackle domestic abuse and provides support for people affected by it, as well as how this would be achieved.
The new domestic abuse strategy is for the next five years, from 2025 to 2030, and the council is seeking input from the public to help shape it.
As part of the 6-week consultation, residents are being asked whether the actions in the previous strategy have been effective in tackling domestic abuse and supporting victims, and whether they should be carried forward into the new strategy.
We are also keen to hear from anyone affected by domestic abuse who has suggestions for improvements or additions that will ensure our services meet the needs of those affected.
Anyone can be affected by domestic abuse; statistics show that one in four women and one in six men will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lives, which amounts to over 2 million adults in total
The consultation will launch on Monday 14th October 2024 and will close on Monday 25th November 2024.
