Authority: Wolverhampton City Council (Local council)
What is being bought5 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThis service provides specialist domestic abuse support within refuge and dispersed safe accommodation settings (across a minimum of 28 units). It will offer trauma-informed, person-centred interventions alongside a safe physical space to encourage recovery, independence, and empowerment. Through a step-down and move-on pathway, the service will aim to support victims into longer-term, stable housing, and help victims to thrive in a life free from abuse.
This service will also provide accommodation-based support for victims with complex needs (across an additional minimum of four units), who are often unable to access support in traditional refuge settings.
