About the North Yorkshire Domestic Abuse Initiative
The North Yorkshire Domestic Abuse Initiative is the result of
partnership working between Crime and Disorder Reduction
Partnerships, North Yorkshire Police and local Domestic Violence
Fora.
The appointment of five Domestic Abuse Co-ordinators
across the County indicates the heightened profile of this serious
issue both locally and nationally.
A Domestic Abuse Directory can be downloaded and contains
information that the Co-ordinators have collated
and identified as being possible sources of
support for victims, survivors and perpetrators of domestic abuse
within the county/district. A new copy will be available from the
end of June.
The information within the directory is primarily intended for
the use of agency workers and other support organisations, to
enable them to signpost service users appropriately and to ensure
effective multi-agency working.
The content of this directory is administered by the Domestic Abuse Officer for the Harrogate/Craven area and any suggested amendments should therefore be notified to:
