Domestic abuse policy

Our approach to how we aim to reduce risk to victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

This domestic abuse policy was developed with a survivor-centred approach. It clearly defines the responsibilities of all staff and contractors working for the Housing Directorate to support victims and survivors of abuse. It describes the relationship between the Family Justice Service (FJS) which is a dedicated domestic abuse service in Croydon.

The policy outlines how we intend to:

  • prevent domestic abuse
  • support victims and survivors
  • hold perpetrators to account
  • collaborate to create change
