Purpose

Hartcliffe and Withywood ward has been
identified as the area where the reporting of domestic abuse
incidents and crimes is the highest in Bristol. It is also the ward
in Bristol where the highest percentage of people think domestic
abuse is a private matter. It has therefore been decided to
undertake some focussed work with residents to identify some
projects which would:
1. Help to raise awareness/ prevent domestic abuse
2. Provide ongoing support to enable survivors of domestic abuse to
progress and prosper.
It is intended that this work should complement commissioned
domestic abuse services which provide support to victims at the
point of crisis.
