Domestic abuse guidance

Domestic abuse guidance provides recommendations for recognizing, responding to, and preventing harm within personal relationships. It emphasizes the importance of safety, respecting individuals’ rights, and providing support for victims. Key principles include understanding different forms of abuse—such as physical, emotional, or financial—and ensuring confidentiality. Procedures often involve safeguarding protocols, risk assessments, and multi-agency cooperation to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable. The goal is to create a safe environment, promote awareness, and ensure appropriate intervention while respecting the dignity and choices of those affected.
