Covid-19 and the domestic abuse sector
Responding to the Covid-19 pandemic was a huge challenge for us and the wider domestic abuse sector. Read more about its impact on the frontline and what we learned.
Safe at Home Covid-19 survivor survey
What victims, survivors and professionals told us about services and support during the start of the pandemic in 2020
In March 2020, at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, we launched a survey of survivors currently experiencing domestic abuse. And we asked frontline professionals about their experiences.
This helped us better understand how the pandemic and national lockdown restrictions were affecting victims and survivors of domestic abuse and the professionals and services who support them. The situation was changing fast and we adapted our surveys, adding further questions, to provide a clearer picture.
We used the insight we gathered to inform and share our response to government and others, to help shape the support needed.
