## Description
In Sefton DA is overwhelmingly our most prevalent source of concern. For context, in this financial year to date we have received 2600 contacts where DA is listed as the prime concern. The next biggest concern is listed as ‘Parenting support’, 860 contacts.  DA outstrips the next biggest reason we are involved with children by over three times. In reality, this is a minimisation, once we begin to work with families DA often reveals itself as a significant concern that was not the original reason for referral.  We know that children who experience parenting within the context of domestically abusive relationship can go on to model these behaviours in their own relationships later in life.
Current Domestic Abuse (DA) provision in Sefton has evolved historically and has the potential to be disjointed and based on risk.
The needs assessment that was commissioned to meet our statutory obligations under the DA Act, tells us we have unmet need around:
•	Reporting of DA in more affluent areas of the borough was less than in areas of deprivation.
•	Women with complex needs
•	Older Victims / Survivors
•	Male Victims
We are proposing to procure a fully integrated Community Domestic Abuse service that operates on a network approach, is open to anyone irrespective of their protected characteristic or risk level.
