Implementation of the New Domestic Abuse Legislation Webinars
SafeLives have developed a duo of free webinars to support areas in implementation of the Domestic Abuse Act. Each takes a deep dive into the parts of the legislation areas we have had the most feedback and queries about.
Webinar 1 - The Domestic Abuse Act 2021: Local Partnership Board & Needs Assessment. 8/9/2021
The aim of this event was to equip areas to maximise the opportunities this key piece of legislation offers. Presenters consisted of SafeLives Practice Consultants and expert partners.

Webinar 2 - The Domestic Abuse Act 2021: Local domestic abuse strategy and measuring your outcomes
This event focused on local authorities’ domestic abuse strategy, in line with the DA Act 2021, how this affects public and voluntary agencies and what their roles and responsibilities are. The session also gave attendees the chance to discuss their thoughts and the challenges they are facing implementing the new elements of the DA Act into a ‘business as usual’ plan of action.
Thank you to the local authority areas who particpated, including West Sussex and Cheshire East, and to the local area survivor voice coordinator who shared their expertise and experience.
