With the Home Affairs Select Committee Consultation underway, the
issue of domestic violence  is rising further up the national agenda.



Bringing together major stakeholders in a best practice forum,
Capita's 8th National Domestic Violence conference focuses on
overcoming the challenges of improving service delivery. All agencies
and providers must work together to realise policy as local good
practice. This conference addresses the key areas in ensuring that
specialist statutory and third sector services are aligned, including:

* Developing strategic joined-up frameworks to safeguard vulnerable
and hard to reach adults and children

* How multi-agency working can proactively identify,  measure and
manage risk from a perpetrator and victim perspective

* Building secure and supportive relationships between victims and the
services they access to prevent repeat incidences of domestic violence



Attend this timely event to hear how comprehensive reform is targeting
shortfalls in provision and driving progress in workforce training,
sourcing of funds, living support and early intervention.
