This guidance replaces any previous guidance. This version drafted by Hannah Slydel Senior Policy Officer, VAWG.
This guidance sets out the Council’s domestic violence and abuse (DVA) policy and provides guidance to staff about what to do when supporting a tenant, or someone else living in council housing, who is experiencing domestic abuse.
DVA cases are complex and each one will be different.
Always ask for advice or help from a manager if unsure about what to do.
