To consider a report of the Executive Member for Communities and Partnerships.

Minutes:

The Executive Member for Communities and Partnerships submitted a report which advised that the Council had commissioned an external consultant to complete a Domestic Abuse Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (“JSNA”) and to co-develop a Domestic Abuse Strategy. It provided information on the scope and outcome of the JSNA and planned activities which would enable the Council to respond to identified priority areas.

 

In considering the report, Members discussed the significance of awareness of domestic abuse, because of its impact on children, in schools; and it was agreed that consideration would be given to appropriate training and awareness-raising. The Executive would be kept informed of progress on the JSNA, with its final authorisation expected early in the coming year.

 

RESOLVED – That the content of the report and planned actions detailed within it be noted.
