Survey about domestic abuse services ends 14 February 2022

What is the survey about?

This is a survey about your experience of thinking about using domestic abuse services, trying to use domestic abuse services, and what it is like using domestic abuse services.

We are running this survey so that we can understand what is good about domestic abuse services in different areas of the country, and what could be made better. We will tell public bodies like the Government and local councils about our findings so that they can improve domestic abuse services in your area.

By domestic abuse services we mean services that are just for helping people who have experienced domestic abuse. The organisation that provides the domestic abuse service might also provide other types of services. There is an explanation in the survey that explains what types of domestic abuse services exist in case you are unsure what we mean.
