Integrated Services for Victims of Domestic Violence & Abuse and their Children

Description

This contract is to provide services for all residents of Buckinghamshire who are victims of Domestic Violence & Abuse (DVA) and their children; to provide risk assessment & management and early help & preventative work. The highest priority when working with medium and high risk clients must be to secure the safety of the client and the client?s children.

This approach will support delivery of services which address a range of measurable outcomes covering all three services? agendas and will enable a flexible approach to changes in need and a co-ordinated model of monitoring and evaluation. The contract has 3 elements: 1. Support for Victims 2. Support for Children and Young People 3. Support for Professionals and Residents
