Purpose.

For the Cabinet Member for the Safety in the Community portfolio to confirm the allocation of the additional funding of £28,000 for 2022/23 for victims of domestic abuse.

 

RECOMMENDED that the Cabinet Member for Safety in the Community confirm the allocation of the additional funding of £28,000 for victims of domestic abuse to purchase Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) training and supervision for four new members of staff, in the Family Safeguarding Service, who work with families and children where there is domestic abuse in the home to support ongoing interventions. 

Decision:

The Cabinet Member for Safety in the Community confirmed the allocation of the additional funding of £28,000 for victims of domestic abuse to purchase Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy training and supervision for four new members of staff, in the Family Safeguarding Service, who work with families and children where there is domestic abuse in the home to support ongoing interventions.

 

Minutes:

Bruce Marr, Head of Partnership and Planning introduced the report and in response to a question, he explained that

 

The police had changed their processes to refer all medium risk cases from 999 calls to provider services.  This increased demand significantly and reduced the provider services' capacity to respond appropriately and therefore engagement with victims reduced.

 

The police have now changed their processes so that referrals are determined within the police Multi Agency Service Hub process to ensure that there is more active consent from the victims.  Numbers have returned to the same levels as previously.
