Risk pathways and our position on DASH

No one should die as a result of domestic abuse. DASH was ground-breaking 15 years ago, but it has never had a Government-led review. SafeLives is calling for urgent reform: a survivor co-created, inclusive update of risk pathways backed by training, resources, and multi-agency action. Survivors deserve a system that protects them.
