Co-ordinated Community Response to Domestic Violence
Draft Model
The draft Coordinated Community Response (CCR) model of domestic violence illustrates the inter-relationship of agencies and levels of response for tackling domestic violence. It recognises and makes explicit that no one agency can deal effectively and safely with the effects of domestic violence.
In last year's National Domestic Violence Delivery Plan report , we identified the Specialist Domestic Violence Courts (SDVC) model of service delivery as the catalyst for a more co-ordinated approach for action on domestic violence at local level. Building on the experience of the SDVC Programme and what we know from research, the Domestic Violence Virtual Unit - along with regional colleagues - has been working to develop a more holistic model that all local partnerships can use, regardless of whether or not they have an SDVC. The draft model has been tested with regional and local colleagues to ensure that all elements of good practice have been captured.
We hope that local partnerships will adapt this model to ensure that their limited resources are targeted at the most vulnerable victims using the available public protection frameworks as a guide to safety.
