Barnet Council marked International Women’s Day with launch of anti-violence strategy
Our new Domestic Abuse (DA) and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy highlights our zero-tolerance approach to abuse and violence against women and girls in Barnet.
We are working with partner organisations to raise awareness and prevent violence and abuse in the home, places of learning, employment, and in the community and ensure that perpetrators of violence and abuse are held accountable for their actions.
Whilst we currently have the third lowest rate of domestic abuse reports among all London boroughs, we are committed to doing more and working to ensure victims and survivors are able to escape abuse and be safe, facilitating access to services that build resilience, reducing the risk of families reaching crisis point and reducing the impact on children.
As part of the strategy, we have developed five shared partnership objectives to work towards achieving the aim of ending DA and VAWG:
Early intervention and prevention of DA and VAWG
Support all victims and survivors to report, access help and recover
Pursue perpetrators and engage them in behaviour change interventions to eliminate harm to victims and their families
Strengthen the partnership response to improve multiagency working and information sharing to deliver improved outcomes
Working together for safer streets, community and public spaces
