Domestic Abuse

We recognise that domestic violence seriously effects people’s lives, both emotionally and physically. We are committed to taking all reasonable steps to combat domestic violence and its effects on those being abused and on children affected by it; and to challenge the behaviour of alleged wrongdoers.
Where an individual is in fear of or is the victim of domestic violence, we will try to involve other organisations in providing support, advice and assistance.

We will consider taking legal action against anyone alleged to have carried out domestic violence, using the powers available to us under the Housing Act 1996 and other relevant legislation, if the victim wishes us to do so.
