Cumberland's Community Safety Partnership has set out a five-year plan to tackle domestic abuse.
The document defines how the council-led partnership will help prevent abuse, support victims and bring those responsible to justice.
Cumberland Council’s Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Children’s Services, Family Wellbeing and Housing, Cllr Emma Williamson, said:
“This strategy illustrates our incredibly strong commitment to tackling domestic abuse. It has been put together with the real experience of victims in mind, and it focuses on what they told us is needed, rather than what we think should be provided.”
Importantly the document, which was created with input from many partner organisations, will now form the basis of an action plan. All those involved in preventing abuse, supporting victims and pursuing perpetrators will set out how they will achieve the goals in the strategy Cumberland Domestic Abuse Strategy 2025 - 2030
