Published requirement description

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 has implemented a statutory requirement on Local Authorities to ensure there is safe accommodation for victims of domestic abuse. This includes target hardening measures to ensure victims of domestic abuse are able to stay in their own homes, when safe to do so. The bullet points below covers support for victims of domestic abuse through enhancing security measures at their own home to increase protection against perpetrators and enable victims to stay in their own homes.

• The service is for the provision of support to approximately 175 people, around the enhancement of security measures in the homes of those who have been subjected to domestic abuse, and the perpetrator no longer lives in that home, in Peterborough. The providers of the scheme must:

• Proactively source and receive referrals from Peterborough Independent Domestic Violence Adviser (IDVA) Service, Cambridgeshire Constabulary, Cambridgeshire Victim and Witness Hub and other specialist Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Services in accordance with the Data Processing Agreement.
