Raises Voices of Victims and Survivors of Domestic Abuse

The Domestic Abuse Commissioner is delighted to launch VOICES today, her virtual platform for victims and survivors to influence change to improve the lives of others subjected to domestic abuse.

From today, victims and survivors, as well as friends and family bereaved by domestic abuse, can sign up to receive the VOICES email newsletter, which will include opportunities for victims and survivors to share their experiences, as well as providing relevant updates on the work of the domestic abuse sector, government and academics.

The Commissioner is also inviting victims and survivors to share their views in a survey on their experiences with the police.

Please share this announcement with your networks using this graphic.  If you work  directly with people subject to domestic abuse, there is an A4 flyer aimed at victims and survivors that you can print off and put up in your building, or share digitally with clients.

Raises Voices of Victims and Survivors of Domestic Abuse

The Domestic Abuse Commissioner is delighted to launch VOICES today, her virtual platform for victims and survivors to influence change to improve the lives of others subjected to domestic abuse.

From today, victims and survivors, as well as friends and family bereaved by domestic abuse, can sign up to receive the VOICES email newsletter, which will include opportunities for victims and survivors to share their experiences, as well as providing relevant updates on the work of the domestic abuse sector, government and academics.

The Commissioner is also inviting victims and survivors to share their views in a survey on their experiences with the police.

Please share this announcement with your networks using this graphic.  If you work  directly with people subject to domestic abuse, there is an A4 flyer aimed at victims and survivors that you can print off and put up in your building, or share digitally with clients.
