Trans Inclusion Guidance

We want all victims and survivors of domestic abuse to get the right support, when they need it, whatever their characteristics and identities. 

This practice guidance, developed with input from a wide range of individuals and services, provides a risk-based decision-making framework to support commissioners and frontline services to provide support for Trans and gender diverse victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

Please note, this guidance sits within the current legislative framework and has been reviewed by legal experts at the time of publication: 14th March 2024.
