Newark and Sherwood District Council is carrying out a 4 week public consultation on it's recently refreshed Domestic Abuse Policy.
The purpose of this policy is to set out the District Council’s commitment to managing, and hopefully reducing, the issue of domestic abuse in the district. The policy sets out how it will support survivors and hold perpetrators of domestic abuse to account. It sets out its core aims, principles and values as well as what people will experience, and what support they will receive, when contacting the District Council.
The Policy explains how the District Council can support survivors and how it will work in partnership with other agencies to ensure survivors needs are met. The policy covers all residents, tenants and service users.
Please submit your comments and feedback by Wednesday 30 April, 5pm.
