We are thrilled to announce an interesting conference to discuss community-based approaches to tackling domestic abuse.
The event will present findings and ongoing work from various research projects on domestic abuse at the University of Suffolk and University of Essex, to highlight learning from local provision as well as sharing good practice.
The event will also encourage open discussions on “What Works” and feature talks from a range of professionals delivering and funding practical community-based domestic abuse programmes as well as networking opportunities.
The identified themes (but not limited to) are: criminal justice and civil justice; housing; health; money; identity; prevention and protection.
This event will appeal to those interested in learning more about community-based projects which show promise for national replication in dealing with domestic abuse.
