Domestic Abuse Policy Consultation

Closes 7 May 2025

Opened 26 Mar 2025

Overview

We want to hear from you about the types of services you believe should be offered to anyone who is affected by domestic abuse. Oxford City Council is committed to improving its response to domestic abuse by understanding the needs of service users, listening, recognising the signs, and intervening early to ensure the safety of survivors and their children while holding perpetrators accountable. We are working towards achieving Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) accreditation. As part of this effort, we are developing a Domestic Abuse Policy for Service Users. The policy outlines how the Council will respond to residents impacted by domestic abuse, including both survivors and those accused of harm.

Why your views matter

We want to know what services you would expect or need from the Council if you are a survivor of domestic abuse. Your voice and opinions matter to us. We understand that some of you may currently be affected by abuse. If you need emotional support, you can reach out to your GP or contact the Oxfordshire Domestic Abuse Service at 0800 731 0055.
