Experiences Sought from Survivors of Domestic Abuse to Help Inform Local Services

Stratford-on-Avon District Council is supporting Warwickshire County Council in looking for experiences of survivors of Domestic Abuse to help inform local services and support.

If you've experienced domestic abuse, or you know someone who has - please help Warwickshire to better understand why people find it hard to reach out for support. This can be done by:

• Visiting www.talk2someone.org.uk
• Emailing VAWG@warwickshire.gov.uk 

Cllr Natalie Gist, Portfolio Holder for Law & Governance says: " Domestic Abuse in all its forms is more common than many of us could imagine. The suffering and trauma endured by victims continues long after any abuse ceases. There are many statutory services and support services in Warwickshire. Nevertheless we very much appreciate the help and experience of those who have survived domestic abuse, whether reported or not.  It is essential that the lived-experience of survivors is the heart of improving local support and helps us to break down any barriers to that support that may exist."
