Details

We asked for your views on the draft Housing Services Domestic Abuse Policy (PDF, 434.1 KB). This draft Policy explained the rights of all Enfield residents to access safe accommodation away from abuse.

It set out how we expect Enfield Council staff, contractors, sub-contractors and their agents to respond to a disclosure of domestic abuse. It describes our commitment to promote early help and our approach to providing co-ordinated tailored support for victims/survivors and/or their children.

The Policy applies to Enfield Council Housing tenants and Enfield residents who access support from our Housing Advisory Service, regardless of their tenure, and is for adults and children affected by domestic abuse.

Who could participate

All local people, organisations based in Enfield and those with an interest in the issue.
