Back in October we launched 2 surveys to help us better understand the support needs of people aged over 16 affected by domestic violence and abuse in Warwickshire.

The first survey is for practitioners (e.g. health visitors, social workers, police, probation, midwives etc) who may come into contact with individuals or families affected by domestic violence and abuse. We would like to understand what needs you are experiencing, what services you are using, what’s working well and what could be improved.

The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and can be accessed here.

The second survey is for individuals aged over 16 affected by domestic violence and abuse, either themselves or someone they know. If you know or support someone that you think would like to contribute to this survey, it can be accessed on the County Council’s Ask Warwickshire webpage.

The closing date for both surveys is 3 January 2016. Information gathered will feed into our needs assessment which will inform future service commissioning decisions.

We hope to get as many responses as possible so please share this with your friends and colleagues as appropriate.

If you have any queries relating to the surveys or the domestic violence and abuse needs assessment, please contact us at vawg@warwickshire.gov.uk.
