Details

Using responses to the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Call for Evidence, relevant data, and a comprehensive literature review, the plan outlines the government’s approach to tackling domestic abuse through prioritising prevention, supporting victims, pursuing perpetrators, and building a stronger system.

It delivers on the government’s statutory duty to deliver a strategy for the prosecution and management of domestic abuse perpetrators.
