SALFORD COUNCIL INVITES YOU TO HAVE YOUR SAY ON DOMESTIC ABUSE

How should Salford organisations tackle domestic abuse?

That’s the question being asked by Salford City Council as it reviews its domestic strategy for the next five years – and it’s inviting the public to have their say.

The quick, five question anonymous survey is online until Wednesday July 14 and is open to anyone whether or not they have experienced domestic abuse.

The survey sets out plans for the next five years, which include education on abuse and healthy relationships in schools, make sure services work for teenagers as well as younger children, sharing information across organisations so people only have to tell their story once and bring perpetrators to justice or stop them harming others.

Deputy City Mayor and lead member for adult services, health and wellbeing Councillor John Merry said:

“Domestic abuse can happen to anyone and can involve control and co-ercion just as much as physical violence.

“There’s no place for it in modern society and we want to make sure we and our partners are doing all we can to help those who experience, stop people causing harm and change attitudes.

“We would welcome people’s views and ideas in the survey to help us shape services and provide the best support we can over the next five years.”
