Lancashire Domestic Violence Partnership
Tackling Domestic Violence in Lancashire
Domestic violence is a complex social problem with devastating consequences. Due to the widespread nature of domestic violence it will impact on the work of every single Lancashire institution or organisation with relation to service users and/or employees. Co-ordination of responses is vital if, in Lancashire, we are to save lives and prevent harm.
The Lancashire Domestic Violence strategy is intended to build on the excellent work already taking place in Lancashire. Its purpose is not to replace any of the existing strategies or work currently carried out but to develop a more effective partnership approach, focusing on collaboration with local fora and specialist domestic violence services.
The purpose of the Lancashire Domestic Violence Partnership (LDVP) is to provide strategic direction to individual agencies, domestic violence fora and partnerships across Lancashire. It drives the implementation, the review and evaluation of the Lancashire Domestic Violence Strategy. The LDVP is committed to:
- Ensuring that domestic violence is viewed by all agencies, both statutory and voluntary, as a major priority.
- Setting the work schedule for the Domestic Violence Strategy Co-ordinator.
- Identifying the specific and diverse needs of the community and exploring the range of services required to meet these needs.
- Developing and delivering a five year Domestic Violence Strategy with an Action Plan to be reviewed annually.
- Providing a mechanism where by information can be exchanged and discussions on current issues can take place.
- Developing and maintaining high levels of engagement from its partner agencies in the delivery of domestic violence work across agencies.
- Ensuring that domestic abuse services and initiatives for both survivors and perpetrators are co-ordinated. It is vitally important that those approaching the helping agencies receive a consistent and appropriate response from adequately trained staff.
The LDVP is a closed group, however, the Lancashire Domestic Abuse Forum acts as a stakeholder group of concerned agencies or partnerships (such as the domestic violence partnerships across the county) and influences the work of the LDVP. Membership of the Forum is open to any organisation or partnership that subscribes to and is working towards the vision and aims agreed by the Forum, and has been nominated and seconded by existing Forum members.
